Under what license are changes released? [message #510441]

Hi,

Under what license are the modifications to the jars in the Orbit repository made? Are the changes made under the original license of the artifact? The EPL?

For example, the FAQ for the SpringSource Repository states this:

Quote:

"Any changes to the artefacts (such as the addition of manifest entries) are made available under the same license as the original arftefact."

Can the same statement be applied to the Eclipse Orbit repository?

Also, it would be awesome if you add this question/answer to the Eclipse Orbit FAQ? I'd like something (other than a forum post) to which I can refer the legal department at my company, so they are happy.

Thanks!

Phil
