3.2 has non-free files #19

Hello, i'm currently working on packaging the last release of thc-ipv6 on Debian (which should be downstreamed to Ubuntu and Kali) and i stumbled upon a problem.

It looks like all the files inside rfc/ are non-free, please have a look at these links[1][2] and consider the removal of the rfc folder.

If you're willing to remove the rfcs from the source code and make a new release without them, i can wait for it and package this new release instead of 3.2. If not, i can do a +dfsg.n[4] release, removing the rfc folder.

Thanks.

who would have thought that RFCs are non-free? never came to my mind at least.
I will remove it from the repository, but not make a new release yet :)

@vanhauser-thc i must confess i was kinda impressed with this discovery.

Thanks for the removal, i will then prepare a dfsg release for 3.2.
