Re: [epl-discuss] Next Round of Proposed Revisions to the EPL

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Could you clarify (or point me to a resource) what is happening with our old CLA's?  I had originally thought that we were going to be able to continue under our old CLA's indefinitely and ECA's were to apply to new people and anyone that wanted to update.  However looking in the portal for myself and others on our project we are starting to see expiration dates of September 24th, 2016.  For the two I am aware of, our start dates and CLA signature days would have been years apart so we found it odd we were due to expire at precisely the same time?

cheers,

Jesse

Luis,

Thanks for the feedback. Most of those are likely minor edits that we can tweak once we're ready for the next round.

Any feedback on the substance of the changes? Do you think these definitions are an improvement?

Thanks again.

Hi, Mike - thanks for sharing, and congrats on the progress.

One quick comment- the definition of Modified Form reads to me like it is missing a word?

"shall mean any work, in Source or Executable Code from an addition to, deletion from, or modification of the contents of the Program,"

any work _taken_ from? _resulting_ from? (MPL uses resulting from; not great but it seemed best after we'd discarded all other options.)

Less substantively important, but judging from uses in other contexts, the draft tends to say "Executable Code form", not just naked "Executable Code", so maybe also a missing "form"?

All,

This has taken far too long, but this morning I posted the next round of proposed revisions to the EPL.

You can find the new version on GitHub here, HTML preview here, with the changes shown here.

For those who prefer, please find attached a PDF with the redlines.

The main revisions were as follows:

• changed the defined term from "Derivative Work" to "Modified Work" to make it clearer that it is a defined term.
• added definitions for Source Code and Executable Code.
• changed the definition of Modified Work to (hopefully) be more precise.
  

I look forward to your feedback. In particular, defining derivative works is a big change. We definitely want to make sure we get that right.

Thanks in advance.
