[4diac-dev] Licensing of 4diac projects

Hello everyone,

We stubled over a small issue when publishing code (accompanying code for an ETFA'20 submission). A stock 4diac project will contain FBT files with EPL license, and probably all useful applications will use some of these FBs.

There might be the view that an application is not a derived work in the sense of the EPL. But would this uphold in a court? After all, the application workspace incorporates the code.

Is there a way to easily share a project including any custom FBTs but excluding those shipped with 4diac IDE? That would make the situation much easier license-wise.

Regars,
