This comsupp thing isn't going to be part of the runtime, because it isn't linked
into executables 
unless it is referenced by user code. However the runtime license applies anyway [1].

The runtime part is licensed under the Zope License [2], so I suspect it is an option.
Some source 
files, such as 'scardssp_i.c', have explicit notices like 'This file has no
copyright assigned and 
is placed in the Public Domain.' so CC0 should be OK too, if Zope isn't an option
for you.
