Subject: glibc: contains non-free docs and perhaps non-free code

Package: glibc
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-04
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1.1, 2.1.2

debian-legal has recently decided that the GNU Free Documentation
License is non-free. Therefore, at least libc.info* must be removed from
the package. Additionally, the copyright file contains the following:

   * The code to support Sun RPC is taken verbatim from Sun's
     RPCSRC-4.0 distribution, and is covered by this copyright:

               Copyright (C) 1984, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

          Sun RPC is a product of Sun Microsystems, Inc. and is
          provided for unrestricted use provided that this legend is
          included on all tape media and as a part of the software
          program in whole or part.  Users may copy or modify Sun RPC
          without charge, but are not authorized to license or
          distribute it to anyone else except as part of a product or
          program developed by the user.

The license places restrictions on distribution as an independent work,
failing DFSG 1. It also fails DFSG 3 because it prohibits distribution
of modifications of the original work as modifications (as opposed to a
new project).

          SUN RPC IS PROVIDED AS IS WITH NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
          INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF DESIGN, MERCHANTIBILITY AND
          FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF
          DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE.

          Sun RPC is provided with no support and without any
          obligation on the part of Sun Microsystems, Inc. to assist in
          its use, correction, modification or enhancement.

          SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC. SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT
          TO THE INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHTS, TRADE SECRETS OR ANY
          PATENTS BY SUN RPC OR ANY PART THEREOF.

          In no event will Sun Microsystems, Inc. be liable for any
          lost revenue or profits or other special, indirect and
          consequential damages, even if Sun has been advised of the
          possibility of such damages.
