Re: [hono-dev] Migration to EPL 2.0

Dear community,

based on the approving feedback from committers and the lack of objection from
everybody else, we will license Eclipse Hono under the Eclipse Public License 2.0
[1] starting with the 0.7 release which is due mid August 2018. The source code
files in our GitHub repository will be migrated today, so don't wonder if after
your next git pull you see EPL 2.0 all over the place :-)
