Re: [polarsys-iwg] Licenses authorized in Polarsys projects

Pascal,

 

As it often happens, the rumour mill is in error. The board has approved the use of the LGPL, in addition to the EPL, for Polarsys. You can find this in the minutes link below. Look for the name “OPEES”, as that was the previous name of Polarsys.

 

Eclipse working groups which maintain a separate forge and brand identity can ask the Board for some licensing discretion, which must be unanimously approved. LocationTech is a second example.

Hope that helps.

Hi

 

Rumour has it that Polarsys is a special island where a wider variety of OSS license can be used. In fact the craziest rumour mentioned GPL!

Could someone clarify what is allowed?

 

Thx
