John,
I am pretty sure that the file header format that you chose is consistent with other dual-licensed projects. It is JGit which is the outlier, as it is our only BSD-only project.
Regarding your mention of a LICENSE.md: if by that you mean a copy of the text of either the EPL or the SUA in Markdown, please don't. Or at least please don't without the full involvement of the EMO. We have to sign off on any new formats of the license materials, because lawyers say that that formatting matters. Apparently their ability to parse white space is not as good as ours :)
If anyone thinks that Markdown versions of our licensing materials are necessary, please open a bug and assign it to me. Mike Milinkovich +1.613.220.3223 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 ;-)
