I read section 1 of your EULA and cannot see anything of the sort in
there.  You make some vague statements about open source software and
licenses, but by no stretch of imagination does the EULA express what
you just claimed.

You should make crystal clear that the terms of the EULA do not apply to
those external parts.

Your restrictions on reverse engineering are in direct conflict with
LGPL paragraph 6.

It again took me no more than five minutes to find holes in your EULA big
enough to drive a truck through. Come back when you have really done your
homework, don't play us for fools.
