[incubation] License compatibility for SISSL and EPL

Dear all,

For Triquetrum we want to include (optional) connectors to grids / distributed resource managers.

This would be done via the DRMAA api [1] and corresponding implementations for different grid implementations.

For DAWN (not its Eclipse project part) I have already repackaged the DRMAA v1 api as an OSGi bundle, and in the meantime we have implementations available for SGE [2] and SLURM [3]. Others could be added when there's an interest. I would like to contribute this work to Triquetrum.

The DRMAA v1 API was originally licensed with the so-called SISSL [4] which has been retired in the meantime.
The implementations could be brought in with an EPL license.

Questions :

- is the SISSL compatible with an Eclipse product delivery?

- can I include/contribute the API bundle in the Triquetrum repository as sources?

- if yes, can I then maintain the SISSL header/license?

- if not, can it be included as a "works-with" 3rd-party dependency?

thanks!

erwin
