Hey, it is proprietary so why should they tell you?  :-)

But, if you go to /usr/share/hplip and find all the files that have a date of "today"
you'll probably find all the pieces.  One of the pieces should be
/usr/share/hplip/data/plugins/license.txt.

And much of the other files are in /usr/share/hplip/data/firmware
