Hi Hussain,
I was looking to send out a reminder to the wider development team (based on our recent Platform call) and I came across this email from you. Sorry that I missed it.
In short, we shouldn't do anything related to the EFSL. Any of the Specifications that did to some changes to the EFSL due to the errant Issues I created don't have to
back them out. I closed out all of the errant Issues that were still open. We can wait and clean this up in the next release. If a component, such as EJB, has already done these changes, they are welcome to back them out in Jakarta EE 9. That is what I
did for the Platform and Web Profile specs.

Updated reference to EFSL and to indicate the specification (#98)

Kevin,
I had reached out to Eclipse License team to check on the correctness of changes we had made
on updating the license text. I saw the minutes of meeting from the last platform call and you had discussed this point.
I would like to get a confirmation on what needs to be changed:
· Replace
license URL with placeholder
All existing copyright notices, or if one does not exist, a notice (hypertext is preferred, but a textual representation is
permitted) of the form: "Copyright © [$date-of-document] Eclipse Foundation, Inc. <<url to this license>> "
· Replace
Notice text with original
"Copyright © [$date-of-document] Eclipse Foundation. This software or document includes material copied from or derived from
[title and URI of the Eclipse Foundation specification document]."
Thanks
Hussain

Please advise on what will be the right way. These changes have been done across all specification
documents.
A sample of what is expected in this page will be good.
Thanks

Apologies for the late response and we can see how this is confusing.
The text of the license itself should not be modified in any way. The templates are intended as instructions to those who use the license. The templates
should be copied out of the EFSL and pasted elsewhere in the document.
Hope that helps.

Hi Sharon,
With Reference to your below note, I would like to get a confirmation on whether we have made the right changes. Please
review the copyright section in the below document
https://jakarta.ee/specifications/enterprise-beans/4.0/enterprise-beans-spec-core-4.0-public-draft.html#copyright
1.
The original license text link is added to the Copyright itself
Copyright © 2018, 2020 Eclipse Foundation.
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/efsl.php
2.
In the original license text, the following line is changed from
All existing copyright notices, or if one does not exist, a notice (hypertext is preferred, but a textual representation is permitted)
of the form: "Copyright © [$date-of-document] Eclipse Foundation, Inc. <<url to this license>> "
All existing copyright notices, or if one does not exist, a notice (hypertext is preferred, but a textual representation is permitted) of the form: "Copyright © [$date-of-document] Eclipse Foundation, Inc.
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/efsl.php"
Rationale: A person reading the license text from anywhere other than
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/efsl.phpwill
not know what to fill in for <<url to this license>>
3.
As you have said the Notice can be changed
The notice is:
"Copyright © 2018, 2020 Eclipse Foundation. This software or document includes material copied from or derived from Jakarta® Enterprise Beans
https://jakarta.ee/specifications/enterprise-beans/4.0/"
Please let me know if anything needs to changed.

@pombredanne:
Thanks for checking in on this. As indicated there is to be no modification of the license text itself, it is to be used in its exact form as per
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/efsl.php.
As you suggest, only the notice can have a variant as per the terms of the EFSL itself.
For those on this pull request, please ensure you are adhering.
If there are any lingering questions, please contact
license@xxxxxxxxxxx.

Sharon
