Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] New License for Specifications

Hi Ed,

Good question although I think the Spec Committee handled the EFSL 1.1 situation in our call on April 3rd, the minutes are here, see "EFSL 1.0 -> 1.1". Note also the documented Outcome in the minutes was acceptable to the EMO. 

Your related topic (License text in their top Git repository folder) I think is spot on and something to add to the checklist item mentioned in the minutes. It does appear that we missed creating the issue mentioned in the minutes which I will see gets done.

Is there anything we may have missed? 

Thanks ... Paul

Hi,

I notice there is a new version of the Eclipse Foundation Specification License -- The changes appear similar to those of the TCK License 1.1. This license text goes at the head of the Specification Documents. I believe the changes are similar to those for the TCK license -- subsequent to the move of Eclipse to the EU. I did not perform an exhaustive check, but it appears that, at least some of the EE 11 component specifications are released with the 1.0 license text.

We should get confirmation that this is acceptable but I would propose: Anything already on ballot or completed should just continue with the 1.0 Specification License. Anything not yet on ballot, should use the new license and as mentors, we should be working with the teams and checking for this.

Paul, do you know if this is needed (I am presuming so)? If it is, is my proposal acceptable to Eclipse Foundation?

On a related topic -- I noticed that some Specification Projects (may all of them?) include the Eclipse Specification License text in their top Git repository folder. Does this also need to be refreshed? (and is this something we need to monitor with the project teams?)

Thanks,

-- Ed
