We've got an RCP that uses some but not all of the features covered in
the Workbench User Guide.
Are there any legal issues to modifying it? I'm assuming the license to
create derivative works means that there aren't, except maybe providing
a disclosure notice re the source and keeping the IBM copyright notice.
But I can't find anything on eclipse.org that directly addresses this issue.
The Legal topic in the Workbench User Guide reads, "The material in this
guide is Copyright (c) IBM Corporation and
others 2000, 2007."
If you click the "Terms and conditions regarding the use of this guide"
link on that page, it says:
