Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] The final rules for the final builds ...

I've included the licence before the build was triggered.

The org.eclipse.jwt.feature issue needs to be addressed.

Since about a third of the features in the common release repository
still have last year's SUA (> 200 features), and only a few hours to
go until the *final* build, I think we should consider a blanket
exception for the "common license" requirement to avoid either a flood
of last minute rebuilds and/or exception requests. For context, last
year there was significant change to the legal text in the SUA, so
this requirement was very important. This year, the only change in the
SUA is the addition of the Eclipse Distribution License in the list of
possible licenses. Since many projects aren't actually using the EDL
this doesn't feel like a "cannot ship without it" kind of problem (if
you really are using the EDL that's a different story). Deferring
until SR1 for this kind of change feels like the right answer at this
point in the process. I'd be curious to hear what other PC members and
Wayne think about this...

I should point out in the report there is a single feature with no
update license: org.eclipse.jwt.feature. This does feel like a stop
ship problem, since the Eclipse SUA says that the user must be
presented with terms and conditions before installing any software.
