Hi,
i have a question about the Xtext/Xpand/Eclipse licenses: When i understand it right, Xtext, Xpand and Eclipse are distributed under the "Eclipse Public License" which is almost like the BSD-License.
Is it therefore legal to:
- take a Eclipse IDE
- install Xtext/Xpand
- install my own custom dsl and corresponding code generator
- put the corresponding new eclipse distribution on a homepage, ship it to customers, etc. ? (in binary form without providing the source code)
According to this blog entry:
http://blog.efftinge.de/2009/01/xtext-new-parser-backend.html
There were/are still some parts in Xtext/Xpand which don't use the "Eclipse Public License", thats why im asking.
Best regards,
Christian

Hi Christian,
what you describe is perfectly legal. The plugin that Sven mentioned is
the org.antlr.generator which is not necessary to "run" your language.

Sebastian
