[Kevin Haaland <Kevin_Haaland@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The CPL only contributions have been
removed from the HEAD stream. 

All platform teams can go ahead and
update the copyright statements.

Subject	[eclipse-dev] Converting the platform to the EPL license

The Eclipse Foundation has given the Eclipse Platform approval to proceed
on converting to the EPL license.  We will do this work in the 3.1
HEAD stream.  Here are the two steps we will perform:

First, we need to ensure that any contributions that were not made available
under the EPL are removed.  There are 4 contributions that have this
characteristic: 

bug 12745 - CVS/Entries file timestamp day field not space padded
bug 14735 - recursive folder resource creation 
bug 22122 - [resources] IResourceChangeDelta does not handle replaces/move
correctly 
bug 68737 - Double clicking stack frame in JUnit failure trace should display
source [JUnit] 

We will independently implement new fixes to these defects as soon as possible.

Once this CPL-only code is removed, each component can update their CPL
copyright statements to reflect the EPL license.  

Sonia has updated the release engineering tools to automate the updating
of the copyright statements. You can get the latest version here:
