Re: [ajdt-dev] Fwd: Shouldn't the EPL be the reigning license by now?
|
AspectJ (and hence AJDT) both contain a body of material that was donated
by PARC to Eclipse.org under the CPL when the initial transition of AspectJ from
PARC to Eclipse was made. We can't move the license to the EPL without PARC
agreeing to re-license its contributions under the new terms and conditions. The
Technology PMC were due to raise this issue with PARC on our behalf a while
back, but I confess I don't know what the status of those discussions now is, or
even if they were ever actually initiated. I'll try to find out where things
stand...

I
originally sent the following to the eclipse-dev list, but forgot that it's now
moderated and I'm still waiting for a moderator to forward or reject it.
Nonetheless, I'm curious why AJDT and AspectJ are not distributed with the
EPL?

I
ask because I was under the impression due to the CPL to EPL transition doc that
all new dev streams pass 12/31/2004 were to be licensed under the EPL, however
it has come to my company's legal department's attention that that isn't the
case. AspectJ, AJDT and possibly others are still shipping and displaying
the CPL. So is this an oversight which should be fixed asap or were there
exceptions made to the transition plan that I have missed?
