If I understand your approach directly, I think the question will be quite
tricky to answer.  I am not a lawyer and cannot help there, sorry!

IIUC the mined benchmarks would fit quite well and should not be too hard to
integrate (as external). But it would probably be good to have the license
question answered, otherwise that might limit its practical usefulness.
