Hello!

Two included documents are released under the GNU FDL license (version
1.1 or later), although with no unmodifiable & unremovable parts
(i.e. Invariant Sections, Front/Back-Cover Texts, ...).
Nonetheless, the consensus on debian-legal is that a work licensed
under the terms of the GNU FDL v1.1 or later does not meet the DFSG,
even if it does not include unmodifiable & unremovable parts.

Consequently those two documents do not comply with the DFSG.

Corresponding copyright holders should be contacted and asked to
relicense the documents in a DFSG-free manner (for instance under
the GNU GPL or possibly under a dual GFDL/GPL license).

[Note that, for the GNU Privacy Handbook, there's little hope to
see it relicensed, since the copyright holder is the FSF.]

If upstream do not agree to such license change, the documents
should be purged from this package and possibly moved to an
appropriate non-free package.
