Sravan,
If "we" really want to change the license that is currently used
by literally 1000s of features/products, we should change it in
the central license feature first and hope (which is a rather
pointless hope) that all projects rebuild to use the new version
and all of them contribute that to SimRel (which seems unlikely to
me given this was not accomplished in the last 3 months). We'll
also need to hope that all copies everywhere (EPP products, for
example) are also changed (yet again). Then we should expect all
users to re-review the new text because they will be forced to do
so. The not-so-impressed user user can then agree yet again to
what is effectively the same license.
To me this all smacks of completely gratuitous work for dozens or
hundreds of people with absolutely zero value because browsers
switch to https automatically when visiting a web link and even if
not, any concerned user can make sure they view links using https
if they're concerned that they might be presented with a
bogus/hacked bit of legal documentation.
In the end, it's really a very inappropriate plan for the
platform to make this decision for everyone without consulting
anyone. After all, it's a legal document so is it really your
role to decide to alter it? Moreover, should we not question
whether the date needs to be changed given this is no longer the
"November 22, 2017" version of this legal document?
Regards,
Ed

In my
opinion, we should move towards https instead of depending
on http->https redirection made available by webmaster.
We should plan to move to https in this release.
For M1 I
suggest to revert the change. But for M3 we should move to
https.

Noopur,
Please, please revert the changes made to do http -> https
conversion in the license text of all the *.product files that
was done in this Bugzilla:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=558773
We're back to having bogus license variants yet again:
https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.15-I-builds/index.html
Please do not drop a build that is in this state into
SimRel 2020-03 for M1.
Regards,
Ed

As
mentioned in the reminders e-mail:
After
Monday 18:00 ET, no feature work or unrelated
fixes are allowed -- only regression fixes.
Please
avoid releasing patches that are not important for
that milestone after Monday, 18:00 ET.
For
example, here's the git log of the changes that went
in after I20200106-1805 and some of these could have
been avoided:

milestone week reminders
Date: Fri, Jan 3, 2020 9:50 AM
Hi
all,
Next week is the milestone week for 4.15 M1.
Monday: Last
day of development (and even then, no "big
changes"). After Monday 18:00 ET, no feature
work or unrelated fixes are allowed -- only
regression fixes.
Tuesday:
All-day test pass. Nobody should develop or
fix anything. Literally spend the entire day
testing.
Thursday:
Sign-off after re-testing, or at least
confirming no changes have been made to your
component's code since the last time the
component was tested well.
Friday:
Build is officially declared and made
available.
- The master branch stays closed until the
milestone is officially released. (That is, it
is not enough that your component has signed
off.)
Wishing
you all a very Happy New Year 2020!
