| [rt-pmc] Dual Licensing RT Projects |
Dear RT PMC, In yesterday’s Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors meeting, a new policy was agreed to which has significant positive implications for the RT top-level project. As I am sure you’ve noticed, many projects within EclipseRT are dual-licensed. And most, if not all, of the recent projects required a Board vote to approve their acceptance as a dual-licensed project. Yesterday, it was agreed to allow top-level project charters to specify dual-licensing combinations which were desirable for a project community. The TLP charter would have to be approved unanimously by the Board, but once it has any new project could be accepted without a Board vote. Accordingly, I would like to suggest that the RT PMC revise its project charter to allow projects licensed under: 1. EPL 1.0 2. EPL 1.0 + EDL 1.0 3. EPL 1.0 + ALv2 This has the clear advantage that any new project interested in coming to Eclipse would have a clear understanding of which licensing options were open to them, without requiring Board approval. I hope this sounds like goodness to the group? Mike Milinkovich Executive Director Eclipse Foundation +1.613.220.3223 mobile +1.613.224.9461 x228 office @mmilinkov |
