Hi!

I have a legal question regarding CDT. There are lots of copyrights in the
code that look like this:

/*
* (c) Copyright QNX Software Systems Ltd. 2002.
* All Rights Reserved.
*/

Does this mean that cdt is a QNX owned product that is developed under
eclipse.org?

Thanks!
-Chris

The text here http://www.eclipse.org/tools/eclipsetools-charter.html says
this:

That makes me believe that the QNX copyrights are simply an oversight and
probably come from folks at QNX doing lots of work on this. Feel free to
disabuse me of this notion. :)

Thanks!

We actually ship with a copy of this license, which displays from the CDT
plugin more info button.

We just have not taken the considerable time to replace all the existing
licensing text in all the files.
The CPL is the intent of all QNX contributed source, in the CDT>
