STM32Cube license: Can I integrate the repository via "git submodule" into an open source project?

The licensing of STM32Cube is a bit special. BSD is used for most of the components but some use the more restrictive "ST SLA0044" instead (https://www.st.com/resource/en/license_agreement/SLA0044.txt).

It says, among other things, that "...no use, reproduction or redistribution of this software partially or totally may be done in any manner that would subject this software to any Open Source Terms..."

But what about using it as git submodule? Technically, that's just a link to the official repository and neither a reproduction nor a redistribution of the same. Am I right?

So if I point out that any user has to comply with the additional licensing when pulling the STM32Cube-submodule, I'm save, shouldn't I?

Thank you
