Dual License (EPL/AGPL) request [message #1858946] Tue, 02 May 2023 13:10 Go to next message

Hello,

I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, so please let me know if there is a better place for this request.

I'm working on an (as yet undistributed) open-source project that is written in Xtend, which means that there are several EPL-licensed runtime libraries that this project needs. Also, a key library, for which no alternative is readily available, is licensed under AGPL. My understanding is that this forces the final product to be AGPL-licensed as well, which clashes with the EPL-based libraries that it incorporates.
As I understand it, EPL2 has an option for a secondary license. What would be involved in petitioning for certain EPL libraries to offer AGPL as a secondary license?

Thanks,

Mirko

The EPL itself does not mandate or dictate which secondary licenses libraries can or should adopt, so it's up to the individual library maintainers to make such decisions.
