I'm more interested in the general question rather than the specifics of this situation, which I'm sure is now incredibly common. I know it looked at those implementations because I asked it to, and therefore I will credit those projects when I release this library. In general though, people do not know what other material the agents looked at in order to derive their results, therefore they can't give credit, or even be sure that they are technically complying with the relevant licenses.
