Hello,

while reviewing Firebird 2.5 packages for OpenSuSE Factory, our legal
team noticed that copyright notice on top of extern/SfIO/include/stdio.h
claims that it contains "certain software code or other information
proprietary to AT&T Corp."

As the file is apparently used only on Solaris (and even there not
directly), I could easily work around this by repacking the tarball
without the file. However, I'm not sure it is OK to redistribute such
file as part of the official Firebird tarball.

If I understand correctly, this file is only a modified (fixed) version
of header file present in the system. Would it be possible to include
only a patch against the system version rather than whole modified file?
