It should be enough to remove this license text (which is allowed

it and remove the license text.
Only RSA can remove the license text, we can't do it, nor can the
upstream using the RSA code (unless that upstream is RSA).
The license text in the code itself trumps all. It trumps readmes and
"global email proclamations". Now, if RSA released a new file upstream
that was under a GPL compatible license, different story, but they have
not.
