That's just boilerplate. If you look a few lines done you will notice (at 
least in some cases) a license, that's the interesting part. What strikes me 
is that the sdk/README says that it is part of the Netscape SDK but that 
there is no license info related to that SDK and that the Sun file says "for 
NON-COMMERCIAL purposes"
