xfig-doc has license problems in examples



Package: xfig
Version: 1:3.2.3.d-rel-2

Reading the original Release Notes on

ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/drawing_tools/xfig/xfig.README.3.2.3d

I noticed the following sentence:

o New aircraft from Carlo Kopp in Examples directory.  These may be
  reproduced for educational and other non-commercial use only.

Suspecting evil, I found the proof:

This seems to be a violation of

http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

7.No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
     The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the
     program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may
     not restrict the program from being used in a business, or
     from being used for genetic research.

Please investigate

Alex
