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?
