I *swear* that one of the project documents said something highly
relevant, to the effect of "nonfree material might be included in a
package in `main' if it is well-separated, and not required for the
operation of the package". I can't find it, so I'd appreciate it if
someone would point it out to me .. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that it
made explicit mention of RFCs and some humour files included with
emacs.
