Still not sure what to make of this project, but found this paragraph in their license agreement [1] of interest: "3.2.2 Subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, Google grants to You, a limited, worldwide, royaltyfree, fully paid up, nonassignable, nonsublicensable and nonexclusive license under Google’s Intellectual Property that reads on (i) the MDK, (ii) Module Interface Technology and (iii) combinations thereof, to make, use, sell, offer to sell, copy, display, import, distribute, modify and create derivative works of Module Interface Technology."
How is Google assigning the UniPro[2] interface license necessary to make these modules?
That section seems to only be about Google's IP, so it's not assigning anything about UniPro I think?
That said, the link you gave seems to say it's not necessary for this application:
