Bug#522741: ieee-data: not actually including oui.txt

["Octavio Alvarez" <alvarezp@alvarezp.com>]

Hi.

I'd like to ask if there was any progress on this. I'd like to package  
ipv6-toolkit but the licensing of oui.txt is "unclear" (to say the best).

> there's "progress" in the sense that licensing terms for ieee data are  
> not still clear

Some say that it is not copyrightable for being a list of facts [1],  
others say that databases are copyrightable in some places [2], and some  
claim to have written to the IEEE and received a negative permission on  
redistribution of the file [3].

What if this package downloaded the data live from the Internet like the  
flashplugin-nonfree does?
