> The following are not packaged:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
> 
> * ASNMP/asnmp/address.cpp    MIT
> * TAO/CIAO/tools/IDL3_to_IDL2/be_extern.h  LICENSE-A
> * TAO/TAO_IDL/contrib/mcpp/directive.cpp  MIT
> * contrib/minizip/zip.h    zlib
> * contrib/utility/Example/ExH/BadCast/bad_cast.cpp zlib

They may not be packaged, but they are used. I'm not at all concerned about the
MIT or zlib items (or the Bison output files), those licenses are pretty much
universally compatible. Its the LICENSE-A items that need to be removed or
replaced upstream, because that license is non-free, and almost certainly
incompatible with the DOC license.

 * TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/AV/RTCP.cpp   BSD with advertising

This one might be a problem if it linked into GPL items, but I don't think it
is an issue here (although apps/gperf/src/Gen_Perf.h being GPLv2+ might
complicate things). I would try to get the copyright holder to simply drop the
advertising clause on that code.

The next steps will be to address the issue with upstream, all of the code
under LICENSE-A (aka Sun Interface Definition Language CFE License) needs to
either be removed or replaced in the source tree (whether or not it ends up in
a package is immaterial). 99% Free code + 1% Non-Free code = 100% Non-Free
binaries.
