Package: dhcp3 Version: 3.0.6-1 Severity: serious Hi!
I have a distinct impression of reporting this bug before, for the dhcp3 package, but I cannot find the report at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?ordering=normal;archive=both;dist=unstable;package=dhcp3;repeatmerged=1 Possibly the package has been renamed or the bug was reassigned or something. However, the problem still remains. This source package contains the following files from the IETF under non-free license terms: + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/rfc1542.txt + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/rfc2132.txt + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcp-dns-12.txt + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/rfc2489.txt + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/rfc2131.txt + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-authentication-14.txt + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/rfc2485.txt + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/rfc951.txt + ./dhcp-3.0.6/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-failover-07.txt doc/ja_JP.eucJP The license on RFC/I-Ds is not DFSG-free, see: * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199810 * http://release.debian.org/removing-non-free-documentation * http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments The etch release policy says binary and source packages must each be free: * http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt The severity is serious, because this violates the Debian policy: * http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-dfsg There are (at least) three ways to fix this problem. In order of preference: 1. Ask the author of the RFC to re-license the RFC under a free license. A template for this e-mail request can be found at http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments 2. Remove the non-free material from the source, e.g., by re-packaging the upstream archive and adding 'dfsg' to the Debian package version name. 3. Move the package to non-free. General discussions are kindly requested to take place on debian-legal or debian-devel in the thread with Subject: "Non-free IETF RFC/I-Ds in source packages".
