librfccm files, just a copyright notice.
Seems like this would be against the sourceforge.net terms of service too.

Either they don't care about the legal issues or they have a special

of the OpenSuSE package to clarify that. Also contact upstream and or
SAP about possible licenses for this bit of code (and recommend
BSD/MIT/GPL).
