Ronald,
EPF is governed by the Eclipse Public License (EPL) available here:
http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.php.
Any content that is available via download in EPF Web site, CVS or EPFWiki
is under this license.
I'm not an attorney, so I'll give you my best shot in interpreting the
license J
If you are creating a commercial product (in this case, commercialize the
resulting method content) using parts of OpenUP/Basic (or any other EPF
process), it sounds to me like *selling* open source material (same applies
to source code and content). So there are rules in the license for that.
If you want to copy content to use in the process followed internally by
your organization, I'd tend to think that this scenario is OK. A better
approach is to use the open source content as source of inspiration to write
your own content, and include the appropriate references to that source.
Better yet, you want to use EPF Composer and create a plug-in that extends
the open source content, so when you publish it, you see both your content
and the content from the open source method.
Anyway, I'd suggest you to contact your company's attorney for
clarification. Or just shoot an email to Eclipse legal J
Regards,
Ricardo Balduino.

The odd character J at the end of some phrases below meant to be this :-)
