the third party bundle is a collection of open source projects. So it
seems they make use of code from these projects and this is their way to
fulfill the GPL requirements. However someone should check if they made
some modifications to these packages. For the packages that are under my
responsibility (bluez-libs, bluez-utils and openobex) this is not the
case.
