Question on license of "src/extension/internal/polyfill/{mesh,hatch}.js" in generated svg file

Summary:

  • The files mesh.js and hatch.js are included in minified form in svg output file.
  • The license indicated in "src/extension/internal/polyfill" directory say it's GPL-2.0-or-later
  • I don't see any waivers to avoid the license to be applied to generated files.

Does it means that all generated svg files using this feature are under GPL ?

Steps to reproduce:

  • generate an svg file with mesh gradients or hatches, the script are included in minified form at end of file.

Version Info:

  • Inkscape Version: 1.01 and master branch
