Hi,
I wrote a program with SWT and Draw2d and I want to offer free download for
my friends.
But the swt.jar and draw2d.jar seems too big for me, so I want to delete
some classes in these jars.
(No modify, only delete some not used classes)
And I include cpl-v10.html in my package and note eclipse/swt/draw2d in my
readme file.
My question is:
Is this legal according to CPL?
Many thanks!
Simon

I'm not a lawyer, but generally if you modify the source, you must provide
the modified source iff you publicly offer the binary. But you aren't
modifying the source. I would just be careful that you don't confuse people
into thinking your JAR is the real one. Use a different name.
