Hi Karsten, This is really good question, I was trying to go over the commit history but sadly there no details regarding licensing (or source(s) of the files in question). However, I have found an interesting reference on Eclipse Gitlab [1] regarding these licenses, may be we could contact their IP team to find out more information? (TLDR; the licenses were reviewed and approved by IP Team).
@Dan do you have any insights? Thank you. [1] https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/iplab/-/issues/2369 Best Regards, Andriy Redko KK> Hi all!
