FWIW Karsten has contributed much more than that file to psycopg and
was definitely contacted when we changed license.

I think you can just drop that file. It was testing an issue we had in
the past with historical timezones with seconds in the offset (see
http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/usage.html#time-zones-handling) and is
not regularly run. A test for the same issue was added to the test
suite (https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/commit/305d86f3) and that
one gets regularly run instead.
