One of the files is XMLGregorianCalendar.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26803294/how-to-write-a-gwt-customserializer-for-xmlgregoriancalendar

The implementation we have here (falsely claims it is under Apache license)

https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-tools/blob/b6658df8b9f187c0c5fdecfc6517a640d823823f/packages/stunner-editors/kie-wb-common-stunner/kie-wb-common-stunner-sets/kie-wb-common-stunner-bpmn/kie-wb-common-stunner-bpmn-emf/src/main/java/org/eclipse/emul/javax/xml/datatype/XMLGregorianCalendar.java#L21

Is used since without it GWT can not compile. There is no version of it in GWT 
source. GWT needs a class with that name from that package and with each method 
implemented that our files use. And that implementation is licensed under 
another source.

The XMLGregorianCalendar we have is not a copy of the original. It is our 
version that works once GWT has compiled, but I am not sure if that is enough 
to get rid of the copyright/licensing issue.
