Unicode error when reading RTF

[pombredanne]

When trying to read https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.rtf I get:

>>> b=Rtf15Reader.read(open('lgpl.rtf', 'rb'))
Traceback (most recent call last):

I got the same error when parsing the following rtf file.
00938.rtf.docx

I added the .docx extension for uploading purpose only.

log:
