Hi, I've prepared an update to Debian's doc-rfc package and found an 11 years old issue[1] whether RFC's can be included in Debians main repo or not. I just started using the internet around that time...
[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=92810 Do you know, how the discussion went and whether the IETF has somehow changed its copyright regulations in a way that would allow Debian to consider it free? I've found RFC 5377 which says in 4.4: "There is no consensus at this time to permit the use of text from RFCs in contexts where the right to modify the text is required." - Is my interpretation correct that this means RFCs can not be modified and redistributed and thus are not DFSG-free? (Please CC me in replies.) Thank you, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
