Hi Aija,

They don't list an open source license anywhere in those files or on
their website, so by default you have to assume it's proprietary, and
that means NO on your questions (1), (2), and (3).

On your question (4), DMTF seems to be quite proud of the fact that open
source projects use their technology [1], and even specifically call out
Sushy on that list. So, I imagine they'd be responsive if you contact
them and ask what license they meant to release those files under. If
they release the files under the Apache 2.0 license, then the answer to
(1) changes to YES. If it's some other license, then come back and check
on this list to make sure the open source license DMTF is using is
compatible with Apache 2.0.


Just FYI, if (1) is a NO, then (2) and (3) wouldn't help, because the
license of the original files would still apply to any code you derive
from them, whether you do it with a script or manually.
