New bugs filed regarding non-free IETF RFC/I-Ds



Hi all.

A few months ago, I went over the package list manually to find IETF
I-D's, but I finally wrote a simplistic script to do this for me:

#!/bin/sh
URL='http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=draft&searchmode=searchword&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386&page=1&number=all'

wget --quiet -O - $URL | egrep 'draft[a-z0-9-]+[0-9][0-9]\.' |
  grep -v ':red">non-free' |
  grep -v 'usr/share/doc/te.*/latex/draftcopy/draftcopy'

This currently generate the output below [1].

Of the packages in the output, only one package had an active bug
report about this problem, the libsasl2 package:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365183

The many packages I filed bugs on before that have been fixed:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?submitter=jas@extundo.com#_4_2_5

The good side is that no regression in a particular package has been
made.  Of the packages with closed bugs, only the openswan package
contains I-D's, but it is a different file than in the earlier bug
report.

The bad side is that some new packages have introduced more I-Ds with
unclear or unmodifiable licenses.  I have filed these new bug reports:

irc-hybrid:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390667

libsmi2:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390666

libtheora-dev:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390665

uuid-dev:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390664

libvorbis-dev:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390660

mobilemesh:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390657

openswan:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390656

sidentd:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390658

As per http://release.debian.org/removing-non-free-documentation#bugs
I have marked the bugs as serious.

Some of these documents MAY be freely available -- check with the
author -- but as far as I could see, in no case was this noted in the
copyright file, so I'm assuming they are redistributed based on the
IETF license, which I believe we've agreed is DFSG-nonfree.

Lobbying individual authors to release their documents under a more
free license would be a good thing, but I don't have time to pursue
that path.  Hopefully some package maintainer will want to pursue
it...
