Hi all,

someone just change #466117 level to "serious".

The conflict is that 3 files contains this sentence:

  *  This file contains proprietary and confidential information and
  *  remains the unpublished property of Open Market, Inc. Use,
  *  disclosure, or reproduction is prohibited except as permitted by
  *  express written license agreement with Open Market, Inc.

The license looks DFSG compatible. So even if the sentence is strange, 
IMO there is no DFSG violation here: the agreement is given by license.
