#665: Possible to remove the IRC RFC from the source?

 Reporter:  ari        |       Type:  enhancement
   Status:  new        |   Priority:  minor      
Component:  libpurple  |    Version:  2.0

 While I realize that not everyone agrees with the Debian Free Software
 Guidelies (http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines), the text of
 RFC 1459 included in the Pidgin source (libpurple/protocols/irc/PROTOCOL)
 is the only thing that is preventing me from including the unmodified
 Pidgin source in Debian main due to RFC licenses being non-DFSG-compliant.
 So, would it be possible to not include PROTOCOL in the distributed
 source, either by removing it during "make dist," or just referencing the
 URL of it instead?
