CIDER is a package on NonGNU ELPA.  If you C-h P cider RET, then you get
the description:

  Provides a Clojure interactive development environment for Emacs, built on
  top of nREPL.  See https://docs.cider.mx for more details.

and if you follow the link you find out

  CIDER extends Emacs with support for interactive programming in
  Clojure. The features are centered around cider-mode, an Emacs
  minor-mode that complements clojure-mode and clojure-ts-mode. While
  clojure-mode supports editing Clojure source files, cider-mode adds
  support for interacting with a running Clojure process for
  compilation, debugging, definition and documentation lookup, running
  tests and so on.

It is a fork of SLIME (the analogous IDE-minor mode for Common Lisp),
and is therefore also licensed under the GPL.

As mentioned above, it is a package that we distribute under NonGNU ELPA.

It is not an issue for Emacs.
