Re: [orion-dev] Orion license
Since we are dual-licensed, it wasn't practical to include the entire EDL text in each header. You can copy the template from an existing orion client source file, or there is one documented here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Coding_conventions#Copyrights

The license information is included in the README.md at the root of each repository. I suppose we could also have a LICENSE.md but I hate duplicating the information in various places. I actually think the info in README.md needs a bit of work, since there are always various exceptions documented in about.html, etc. It should probably say license is EPL+EDL unless stated otherwise in the source file or something to that effect.

Matthias,

 

As I recall, the client side has been dual licensed and there are discussions about dual licensing the server going forward.

 

But your comment that the orion.client sources indicate EPL only seems incorrect. From my orionhub account, I can quickly see that the fileheader in org.eclipse.orion.client.editor/web/orion/textview/textView.js is as follows. It clearly states that the file is dual licensed (emphasis mine). I’m not sure why your experience is different.


yes, this helps. 

I didn't spot this small addition in the client sources which are indeed mentioning EDL
and providing a link to the full license text.

I was expecting to see the explicit EDL header as we were told to use in JGit sources
which are EDL only. This looks very different since it's a lot longer.

I'll adapt the license header for the client part of my first contribution [1] accordingly ;-)
