Re: [wakaama-dev] License clarification

Hi,

There is a couple of answer in the FAQ related to EPL/EDL dual licensing and how it works regarding copyleft:
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#epl-secondary

I'm not a lawyer, but from my software engineer PoV, it's either you pick the EPL with the patent clause and the copyleft clause or the EDL, which is a BSD-like license: no patent protection but no copyleft clause.

HTH,

Hello,

I'd like to have some clarification on the license of Wakaama.

The "NOTICE.md" says Wakaanda is licensed with two separate licences:

"This program and the accompanying materials are made available under the terms of the Eclipse Public License Version 2.0 ("EPL") and the Eclipse Distribution License Version 1.0 ("EDL"). "

Basically EPL-2.0 says that it's not possible to distribute the software as binary without also providing the source code. On the other hand, EDL says "Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that..."

So shortly:

• I we do include Wakaanda files in our embedded application, do we have to disclose the whole application source code?
  

Thank you,
Sami
