txt: Remove presumably non-free RFC copies (253.92 KB, patch)
2018-02-09 08:05 UTC, Ondrej Holy 		committed Details | Review

Description Jeremy Bicha 2018-02-08 22:33:59 UTC 
The gvfs 1.35.90 tarball includes 2 RFC files which appear to be non-free.

These files were detected by Debian's Lintian checker

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-non-free-RFC.html

The two files are rfc3986.txt and rfc3987.txt.

This wasn't a distribution problem for Debian before because these files weren't distributed in tarballs, but 'meson dist' includes all files checked in to git.

I suggest simply deleting these files from your git repo. Anyone that wants to look them up can easily find copies on the Internet.

"meson dist" distributes whole git snapshot including various documents,
which haven't been distributed earlier. For sure, let's remove RFC copies,
which might be presumably non-free...

Thanks for notice!
