Tom
Thanks for the quick reply. What you stated is what I was expecting. I've searched high and low for the documentation that proves that point -- something I need to do to satisfy our legal team. Any thoughts on under which rock that license language exists?
Best Regards,
Rumpi

Everything in contrib/ is considered to be under the same license as the
rest of the distribution. (A few of them have their own copyright text,
but it's not substantially different in meaning from the main copyright
notice. This is also true of bits of the core server, actually.)
Extensions you get from elsewhere might have different copyrights though.
