Summary:                    Please do not ship RFC in source tarball
Description: 
Hi,

Recent releases of busybox ship an RFC in the source tarball:
networking/ftp_ipv6_rfc2428.txt

This is problematic for distributions like Debian that insist that every
and all content in their distribution is free software, and the licence on
RFC's is not free in that sense (regardless of possible good reasons for
that).

Could you please consider to remove the RFC from the released tarballs (or
SVN altogether)? That would help Debian a lot.

thanks!
