I have no idea, from where they had been taken and if an additional
terms and conditions were included or had been accepted to retrieve them.

But from the source alone, these files are LICENSE_ST_GUIDANCE_ONLY.

Btw. I'm neither your lawyer, nor an expert. I'm just trying to protect
Nut/OS users from unforeseen claims. Everybody of you should act at
least with the same caution. It was quite a surprise to find
contributions with copyright statements removed. And I'm even more
surprised, that I was the only one who noticed this.
