The w3c-markup-validator package contains a copy of the "ISO-HTML" DTD

Is the "for use with ..." part a problem wrt. inclusion in Fedora? The
definitions of validating and conforming systems are documented at
http://purl.org/NET/ISO+IEC.15445/15445.html
Yes, it is a problem. That license is non-free.
If it is a problem, is evicting the file from binary packages enough,
or
should it be removed from inside source rpms too?
Evicting the file from binary packages is sufficient, we have permission
to copy it.
