| RE: [eclipse.org-planning-council] One More Final Word on Legal Stuff |
|
Bjorn, Janet, Mike --
thanks a lot for these clarifications.
May I point out that when I'm reading this right, the
Platform itself does not currently comply in at least the following
points:
Section 4.1 and
the Software User Agreement. Section 4.1 of the Guide describes the
requirement to have a copy of the SUA: "The appropriate SUA and a copy of any
referenced license must be located in the root directory of any Eclipse.org
distributed build"
* eclipse-SDK-3.3RC3-*.zip only has epl-v10.html and
notice.html at its root. But many more licenses are referenced in the features.
The SUA delegates to those other licenses. So personally, I do not see why these
also need to be at the root of the download. So, is the Platform doing it wrong
or is the rootfile requirement wrong?
Feature Update
License.
* Your "specific response to me" seems to indicate that
feature.properties must include ASCII fulltext of all referenced licenses. But
the Platform features currently only contain the SUA in their
feature.properties. Am I reading you right that Platform will need to add
fulltext of the epl as well as ASCII fulltext of any other referenced 3rd party
licenses? -- This will make the org.eclipse.sdk feature pretty large I
guess.
May I ask again for a certified example of a proper feature
including correct license.html, feature.properties, epl-v10.html and anything
else probably needed. Does anybody of the Europa projects think they already got
it right so we could copy from them?
Thanks, |
