There is no license issue here. It's only definitions.
So it seems that in your opinion
- definition names in the interface do not need a license
and
- it is fair to reuse them without a license for the purpose
of making your compatible interface easier to use for
people familiar with the original
Did I get that right?
I'm for sure not an expert on open source code licenses. You probably
know this area much more than I do.
But yes, this is what I would have thought. That it's not an issue to
copy the enum definition.
If I'm wrong and it is an issue, is declaring a new enum with new names
not a license issue and can be done instead?
Or am I only allowed to use hard-coded numbers, point to original code
from where I deduced the number, and specify number meaning in comment?
