 * KNIME interoperates with ECLIPSE solely via ECLIPSE's plug-in APIs. Hence, KNIME and ECLIPSE are
 * both independent programs and are not derived from each other. Should, however, the
 * interpretation of the GNU GPL Version 3 ("License") under any applicable laws result in KNIME and
 * ECLIPSE being a combined program, KNIME GMBH herewith grants you the additional permission to use
 * and propagate KNIME together with ECLIPSE with only the license terms in place for ECLIPSE
 * applying to ECLIPSE and the GNU GPL Version 3 applying for KNIME, provided the license terms of
 * ECLIPSE themselves allow for the respective use and propagation of ECLIPSE together with KNIME.
 *
 * Additional permission relating to nodes for KNIME that extend the Node Extension (and in
 * particular that are based on subclasses of NodeModel, NodeDialog, and NodeView) and that only
 * interoperate with KNIME through standard APIs ("Nodes"): Nodes are deemed to be separate and
 * independent programs and to not be covered works. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
 * License, the License does not apply to Nodes, you are not required to license Nodes under the
 * License, and you are granted a license to prepare and propagate Nodes, in each case even if such
 * Nodes are propagated with or for interoperation with KNIME. The owner of a Node may freely choose
 * the license terms applicable to such Node, including when such Node is propagated with or for
 * interoperation with KNIME. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
