For my employer, we're preparing a fixed db3 package for
#357526.  I can see three ways of going about this:

 * Ask upstream to license these files under a DFSG-license
 * move db3-doc to non-free
 * make db3-doc an empty package
 * remove db3-doc binary package

I'm looking to work with this team to decide on a path so that I can
use the same method for our build.  Ideally I'd like to prepare one
set of packages that can be used by both my work project and upload to
Debian so that we don't have to fork.

Should I take the lead & start a discussion with upstream?
