Replace XDR code with BSD-relicensed copy #1200

Closed

Description

@bgermann

The bottom part of src/xdrfile/xdrfile.c contains Sun RPC code, which is licensed under a non-free license. Several copies of that code were relicensed by Oracle to a BSD license.

Please replace your version with a BSD-licensed one. I have filed a solution for this at mdtraj's related bug: mdtraj/mdtraj#2204
