The copyright header of src/com/netscape/osutil/unixdefs.h is apparently outdated, since it essentially prohibits redistribution. This should be fixed.
The following email was submitted to 'pki-devel@redhat.com' on February 2, 2012:

NOTE: I have made this change directly to my local "master", and if it is found to be okay, I will commit and push it. Since this is a comment added to the source code, I believe that no change should be made to the 'osutil.spec' file since this information would be shipped as a part of the osutil RPM. Additionally, this information only exists as a part of this TRAC ticket (no separate Bugzilla was filed as this will ONLY be fixed on the "master").
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
