I have thought about this, and would be interested in adding it to the
list of topics.
However, as I understand it software licensed under the MPL 2.0 is GPL
compatible by default. Any EPL approach to GPL compatibility would have
to take the opposite tack: GPL compatibility would have to be something
explicitly added by the initial contributor.
One appealing aspect to taking this approach is that we have a growing
list of projects at the Eclipse Foundation which are dual-licensed
EPL+BSD(EDL) to allow for GPL compatibility. Having an EPL 2.0 which was
GPL compatible would allow us to meet the needs of similar projects with
a single license.
