Same as you see in the existing code is a good bet.

And by the way, your modified code is also open source, so you need to
be prepared to supply it to anyone who asks. What I do is ship the
source of modified Eclipse classes in a *src.zip with my plugin.

Is that neccessary? I thought CPL licensing doesn't force you to publish
your changes (I might be wrong here).

Any code that was once CPL is always CPL. If you change CPL code, it's

burdensome constraint; it basically says, if you can meet your needs
with a simple modification of CPL code, then you should offer your mods
on the same basis the original code was offered. But hey, in this
circumstance, don't you owe it to the community to contribute your
improvements? At the end of the day, it boils down to what's fair.

Bob,
I understood you said that code *must* be supplied or at least
available. My understanding was that you *must* do that under GPL, but
that it is optional with CPL.
We do agree that it would be fair and responsible thing to make your
code available to everyone.
