I think using the victims as a library under AGPL is fine, the concerns are related to data which could be problematic, but if
there is a discussion to change it to CC, that would solves all concerns I guess.

BTW I read https://eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php#3RDPARTY and there is not listed the AGPL and it is true we are not eclipse.org
project, but that list gives us some imagination how it is handled in eclipse.org (we have an eclipse plugin which uses the same
data or libraries like the CLI/Web console).

Cheers,
