I could not find a license text for this, is this a candidate for a new license?

@AyanSinhaMahapatra I found a pdf for this: "[MS-RNDIS]: Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) Protocol" and will add it to DejaCode shortly.

@AyanSinhaMahapatra I have added LicenseRef-scancode-ms-rndis to DejaCode. Proprietary Free. Please synch the new license and create corresponding detection rules, thanks!
