FYI for the PMC
Wayne, perhaps you should update the PMC on what will be done in
Eclipse vs. at the git repository?

Subject: [blinki-dev] webkit4swt status - CQ rejected due to LGPL
dependency
This
is a quick update on the status of the webkit4swt OSS contribution. The CQ https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3534 has
been rejected due to a strong LGPL dependency of WebKit. This outcome was
not totally unexpected due to long standing Eclipse policies regarding this
type of license. There are no hard feelings from this team as we have a good
Plan-B. We pursued this approach as we wanted to go through the proper procedures
to ensure that we give this project our best effort.
Our
Plan-B is to host webkit4swt on a new GIT repository. That repo is being
prepared this week and we should soon be able to move forward with this OSS
effort.
