EPL License in docbook format [message #668138]

We switched our license from GPL to EPL and now I need to update our
documentation to reflect the change. Using a Docbook tool chain to
build Eclipse Help and PDF documents and would like to include the EPL
in the document instead of just referencing it.

Is there a docbook version of the EPL that I can use?

thanks for any help,
John Conlon

Not that I know of ... but, at the main EPL document link [1] you'll
notice two links on the right hand side, one that says 
 
"<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/notice.html">Software
User Agreement in plain HTML</a>" and one that says "<a
href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/feature.properties.txt">Software
User Agreement in Java properties format</a>". 
 
These are meant to be "save as" versions that can be used in
features (and the legal.html file, or in the feature.properties
file). 
 
The "plain html" one is actually "strict XHTML" is so maybe there's
a tool/stylesheet that can convert it automatically for you? 
 
If not, and you wanted to convert it with the right markup, I'm sure
the Foundation would consider a contribution (attached to an Eclipse
bugzilla) that had it in docbook format ... assuming content was
identical. 
 
HTH

David,

I have such a docbook document available and would like to contribute it.

What would be the appropriate Product/Component for such a Bugzilla?

Community/?

I would try Eclipse (Project) > Platform > Doc. If there's a better
place, the committers will re-route as necessary.

Yes, I'd pick "Eclipse Foundation", "Community", "Website" ... if you
haven't already attached somewhere. But, yes, Eric's right ... it'll be
redirected if there is a better place.

I created Bug 348313 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=348313 containing the DocBook version of the EPL.

Sorry for the vacation caused delay.
