[Python-modules-team] Bug#867199: src:python-jpype: Non-free file (possible) in source test/sample/big.xml

Package: src:python-jpype
Version: 0.5.4.2-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3

Unfortunately, I just rejected your package from New because it contains a
file with no clear license that is not documented in debian/copyright.  The
same problem exists with the current packages in Debian.

test/sample/big.xml:
<!--=  Copyright 2000 World Wide Web Consortium, (Massachusetts          =-->
<!--=  Institute of Technology, Institut National de Recherche en        =-->
<!--=  Informatique et en Automatique, Keio University). All Rights      =-->
<!--=  Reserved. See http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/.                =-->

It's not clear that this is free (and thus suitable for distribution in
Debian Main even in source form).  If the file has a free license, please
document that, if not repack the tarball to remove it.
