I'm sorry but your auditor is an idiot and may in fact be violating the
terms of your vendor's license agreements (at least partially).
  
Most license agreements expressly prohibit reverse engineering licensed
code and the copyright notification makes it pretty clear that you don't
have any authority or influence over what the vendor distributes.  If
that isn't sufficient for your auditor then have him sue IBM.

an APAR that describe what the module does.

Might as well get a mark because it's cloudy outside.  That's just
goofy.
