[dsdp-pmc] NAB and MWT Questions

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shigeki,

I'm just reading through the WideStudio docs, because I want to
prepare the demo for ESE. Can you answer the following questions:

• Is WideStudio / MWT actively being developed? Most Copyright dates
  are (c) 1999-2005, is the project still alive? When I find a bug, how
  can I report it? For instance, I noticed a typo in the docs:
     file:///C:/Program%20Files/WideStudio/ws/doc/en_US/index.html
     "Applicatoin Builder User's Guide"
  -------------^^^^^--------
  How would I report such a bug? Or suggest an enhancement, such
  as "Next / Previous" links in the docs?
  
• WideStudio / MWT is under X11 / MIT license. Do you know if that
  license is deemed "compatible" with the EPL in the sense that
  Eclipse Projects are allowed to redistribute WideStudio / MWT?
  I searched IPZilla and didn't find a CQ for WideStudio / MWT.
  I believe that you must file a CQ (via the Portal) in order to
  document the fact that NAB requires MWT to work ("requires"
  dependency), as per the Eclipse Policy for Dependencies [1].
  See also "Help me Lead my Project" on http://www.eclipse.org/projects/
  and the IP Cleanliness section on the Development Resources [2],
  or the CQ which I recently filed for RXTX [3].
