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.
I'm not a lawyer. I think attribution is important even for small
things, and it was missing in v1. v2 has it but link would be better. I
also think respecting author's wishes is important, and a license gives
a hint as to that.
