If it’s a separate application complying with the GPL is trivial — either link to blender.org and/or publish their patches.
I highly doubt they have any secret sauce in there but just needed a way to call cycles without having to write a bunch of code…which is kind of ironic because cycles used to be able to be called from the command line (might still be, dunno) so doing it this way was probably more work in the end with the added bonus of bad press.
Though, admittedly, cycles had some XML file format that was a train wreck. I tried to come up with an XSD schema for it at one point but, umm… train wreck.
People should just ask these things because it isn’t secret knowledge where you need some $megabuck$ consultant to avoid problems.
