Re: [hono-dev] Migration to EPL 2.0

+1 for switching to EPLv2, in any case!

What I don't really understand though is what style of copyright headers to use. I think currently we have two different styles in Hono. One containing the contributors, the other a generic one. Now the EPLv2 FAQ asks to use the one containing the contributors. I would to see that we could adopt the generic one and track contributors in, I think it was the NOTICE file.

Hi committers and contributors,

as part of the review of our latest release, the IoT Program Management Council
has asked, if and when we would be migrating to EPL 2.0. It seems that the
Eclipse Foundation would be much in favor of seeing all of its projects going
that way.

Personally, I have not problem with migrating to EPL 2.0 since it makes
commercial use of our software even easier than under EPL 1.0.

The Eclipse Foundation has created an FAQ [1] which aims at providing answers
around the EPL in general and the differences between EPL 1.0 and 2.0.

My understanding of [2] is that we may elect to distribute Hono under EPL 2.0 and
then simply change the source code headers and accompanying legal docs
accordingly.

WDYT?
