Is there any chance to remove the RFCs from the package archive (and git)? Would it be reasonable to have them only linked, instead of included?
I am working on the Debian package of gftp, and notice that the rfcs are non-distributable in Debian main. The lintian tool (a Debian package checker that reports common problems) reports that 4 of the rfcs shouldn't be included in Debian main:
E: gftp source: license-problem-non-free-RFC docs/rfcs/draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-04.txt
N:
N: The given source file is licensed under the newer RFC license.
N:
N: The majority of IETF documents, such as RFCs, are not licensed under
N: DFSG-free terms, and should thus not be included in Debian main.
N:
N: If this file is multi-licensed, please override the tag.

If they are dual-licensed, please excuse my ignorance, but I haven't found any information about that in the package.
