Jason,

You can look through the legal FAQs on the website:
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/legalfaq.php but I don't think there's
anything official that addresses your question.

To the best of my knowledge, the use of Eclipse to develop applications
gives no claims of ownership to the Eclipse Foundation to your code.
Just like if you wrote your application in Notepad wouldn't give any
claims of ownership of your code to Microsoft. The only places where
rights of the Foundation could come into play is if you reuse or modify
the source code from Eclipse itself without making those modifications
available. See the EPL license and FAQ for details on this.

Hope this helps,
- Jeff
