[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#780283: inetorgperson.schema contains non-free RFC excerpts

[Ryan Tandy]

Source: openldap
Version: 2.4.40-4
Severity: serious
Control: found -1 2.4.31-1+nmu2
Control: found -1 2.4.23-7.3

The comments in inetorgperson.schema are copied verbatim from RFC 2798.

http://sources.debian.net/src/openldap/2.4.40-4/servers/slapd/schema/inetorgperson.schema

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2798.txt

If I understand https://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments correctly, 
this constitutes a serious bug since the RFC text is not free to modify, 
while substantial portions are copied from it.

Automated checkers didn't flag it, probably because the copyright 
statement is not included directly in inetorgperson.schema, but detached 
in the nearby README. Other schema files already had similar excerpts 
removed (#361846).
