RE: [orbit-dev] RE: Bugfixing 3rd party code due to lack of a release?

Hi Janet, Adrian and all -

thanks for all your extremely valuable and quick help on this.
It's very interesting that the Website Terms of Use already
have this case in mind so stuff coming in is automatically
dual-licensed if necessary!

I've got the declaration of the original patch author to
dual-license his contribution under EPL + APL:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=202758#c18
The CQs are:
https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1752
https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1753

Chris, I have also asked (as friendly as possible :-) at the
Commons-dev mailing list whether they could consider a 
Service release. Given, though, that a service release would
need to go through a full IP review, and given that these
very small patches are really a showstopper fix for us, I'd
really love having them in our Fall maintenance release.

I'm waiting for the "Go" from EMO legal now.

Thanks again!
