New nail package -- parts of documentation with unclear license
Good evening,
nail 10.7 includes some ducomentation from seemingly non-free sources.
The COPYING file includes the following lines which lead me to the
conclusion that this documentation can't be included in Debian main:
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and The Open
Group, have given us permission to reprint portions of their
documentation.
In the following statement, the phrase ``this text'' refers to
portions of the system documentation.
Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic
form in the 'nail' mail user agent, from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003
Edition, Standard for Information Technology -- Portable Operating
System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base Specifications Issue
6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group. In the event of any
discrepancy between these versions and the original IEEE and The
Open Group Standard, the original IEEE and The Open Group Standard
is the referee document.
How do I go about the upload? Do I have to remove the parts of the
documentation from the .orig.tar.gz, or is a diff that removes those
enough?
