Package: db3-doc
Version: 3.2.9-23
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1

docs/sleepycat/legal.html contains the following text:

"This product and publication is protected by copyright and distributed under
 licenses restricting its use, copying and distribution. Permission to use this
 publication or portions of this publication is granted by Sleepycat Software
 provided that the above copyright notice appears in all copies and that use of
 such publications is for non-commercial use only and no modifications of the
 publication is made."

Which I believe makes the db3 documentation violate the DFSG, specifically
"No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor".
