True. Fixed by commit 301c13f7d9129e6e0d99e8f572de5fbc3d5bf8e3 in https://github.com/openexr/openexr which is included since 2.0.0. These files were included in 1.0.3.

Changes adapting it to projects that aren't Linux certainly don't improve Linux, so it's nonfree. We should check all licenses when adapting man pages in a distro.
