While I understand that this is not documented in d/copyright and also
upstream does not include the copyright notice which will be fixed, I am
not sure I completely understand why this is considered non-free. RFC
3550 contains:
Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2003). All Rights Reserved.
This document and translations of it may be copied and furnished to
others, and derivative works that comment on or otherwise explain it
or assist in its implementation may be prepared, copied, published

kind, provided that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are
included on all such copies and derivative works. However, this
document itself may not be modified in any way, such as by removing
the copyright notice or references to the Internet Society or other
Internet organizations, except as needed for the purpose of
developing Internet standards in which case the procedures for
copyrights defined in the Internet Standards process must be
followed, or as required to translate it into languages other than
English.

liblivemedia however does not contain that document itself. The license
also explicitely allows to assist implementations without restrictions
provided that the copyright notice and the paragraph above is included.
What am I missing?
The other issues have been fixed upstream, thanks.
