Hi Michael,

        Thanks for using the PRF.

>>     ACE VERSION: 5.4
>> 
>>     HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
>>         HP rp8400 HP-UX 11iv1
>> 
>>     TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
>>     COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL):
>>         aCC
>> 
>>     CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h:
>> 
>>     CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU
>> (unless
>>     this isn't used in this case, e.g., with Microsoft Visual C++):
>> 
>>     AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:
>>         ace/CLASSIX
>> 
>>     DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
>>         OTHER? (Licensing)
>> 
>>     SYNOPSIS:
>>         Nearly all the files in ace/CLASSIX have a copyright in them
>>         or a signature from Nokia.  Our lawyers are going nuts.  
>>         Example:
>>         CLASSIX_Dgram_Mcast.cpp:
>>         //     Copyright 1998 Nokia Telecommunications
>> 
>>         CLASSIX_OS.h
>>         // = AUTHOR(S)
>>         //     Nokia Telecommunications
>> 
>>     DESCRIPTION:
>> 	  How does this affect the ace license?
>> 
>>     REPEAT BY:
>> 
>>     SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:
>>         Get the copyrights out of the code, or put special permissions
>> into the code.

Or best of all, upgrade to ACE 5.4.4, which no longer has this code.
