Hello,
As some of you might know Debian GNU/Linux has issues with the license
of current RFCs, as it does not meet the Debian Free Software
Guidelines. I do not want to try to repeat the discussion here, but
our current[1] stance seems to be to consider them non-free. - Complete
discussions can be found in the archives of debian-legal on
http://lists.debian.org/ - Please don't discuss the legalese issue
here[2], it would be off-topic.
I am just asking whether exim-users do think it would not be a big
loss if RFC 3028 was not shipped anymore with the exim sourcecode and
if this consensus were reached ask Phil to remove it.
Otherwise I'll just remove the RFC from the tarball before uploading
to the Debian ftp-server, of course I'd rather ship _really_ vanilla
sources.
thanks, cu andreas
[1] Yes, it /might/ change.
[2] Especially stuff like "But rfcs are no 'software', why do you try
to apply 'Software Guidelines' to their license?"
