Hi Benjamin,
Can I take a Program licensed under the EPL, compile it with modification along with my other java code, and commercially license the end result?

What restrictions will be applied here? FYI.Milo has http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/edl-v10.html also.

Please clarify

Thanks
Isuru

Hi Isuru,

Find below a section of the EPL FAQ [https://www.eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php] that, I think, should answer your three questions:

  1. Can I take a Program licensed under the EPL, compile it without modification, and commercially license the result?
    Yes. You may compile a Program licensed under the EPL without modification and commercially license the result in accordance with the terms of the EPL.

  2. Do I need to include the source code for such Program with the object code distribution?
    No. But you do need to include a statement that the source code is available from you and information on how to obtain it.

  3. When I incorporate a portion of a Program licensed under the EPL into my own proprietary product distributed in object code form, can I use a single license for the full product, in other words, covering the portion of the Program plus my own code?
    Yes. The object code for the product may be distributed under a single license as long as it references the EPL portion and complies, for that portion, with the terms of the EPL.

If you have any other questions, please contact license@xxxxxxxxxxx.

HTH,
Benjamin -

Hi All,
The milo code base is written on EPL 1.0.Please clarify below activities are possible or not?
  1. Incorporate milo code in proprietary code base which is not public and unique to a customer
  2. Handover sourcecode (proprietary code along with milo code) with a proprietary licence to the customer who uses proprietary software ?
  3. Handover executable without the source to the customer?

In each scenario how EPL restrict us and what conditions should be met?


Thanks,
Isuru
