Issue #: #621 The OASIS IPR license is not on Fedora's approved license list.

This license is at the top of the PKCS#11 headers released by the OASIS technical committee that standardizes PKCS#11. So it's a good idea to use the official headers, right? No, wrong, apparently. Here are many other open source projects being confused by the license, and replacing the headers that container it.

Description of changes: Replace OASIS headers with public domain headers, sourced from https://github.com/latchset/pkcs11-headers
