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.

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?
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?
