A Debian issue points out a problematic license for some imported header files,
see https://bugs.debian.org/985765, and also https://bugs.debian.org/952951
pointing out the issue with the OASIS license.
The header files currently have
/* Copyright (c) OASIS Open 2016-2019. All Rights Reserved.
* Distributed under the terms of the OASIS IPR Policy,
* [http://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/ipr], AS-IS, WITHOUT ANY

*/
The proposed alternative headers from NSS (which is already used as a build
dependency for OpenJDK), have:
/* This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public
* License, v. 2.0. If a copy of the MPL was not distributed with this

*/
Is this something which could be addressed upstream? Which group to contact?
Thanks, Matthias
