By reading this I'm tempted to think that these files belong to the
public domain. Could the name of functions and parameters owned by
someone? Who must I credit for these files and under which licence? What
do you think?
I'd say they are public domain. As the author states, a list of
function definitions may not even be copyrightable anyway, and I doubt
anyone except perhaps SCO would bring any legal action for something
like that, if it were copyrightable.
