Dear Philippe,thank you for your help and to sum it up.If we understand it correctly we are allowed to use libraries under both licenses.We have to redistribute the WTFPL licensed lib under MIT, but we fail to see what it means in practice. This library are accessed via Maven by including the relevant specification into the CROSSMINER plug-in pom.xml. Do we have to fork/build the 3rd party lib separately and place an MIT license next to it? Is it sufficient to note somewhere (if so where?) in the CROSSMINER license that this 3rd party lib is under MIT? Anything else?We also checked CQ and IP Reques on Eclipse wiki.https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Parallel_IP_Processhttps://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Conforming_Incubation_BrandingDoes this processes already started? By "CQs of each of these components" do you mean contribution of 3rd party lib to CROSSMINER; or contribution to 3rd party lib (e.g. redistribution under different license)? Do we have to send a form for each 3rd party libs or we (CROSSMINER team) just need to list these under SCAVA? Who has right to issue these? Do we (FEA) have any specific task concerning this?Thank you again!GergőOn Fri, 09 Nov 2018 14:42:03 +0100, Philippe Krief <philippe.krief@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Dear Gergo,
To clarify and close this thread:
(1) The WTFPL license is not approved. However, the terms of it allow us to distribute content licensed under it by way of a diff license. As a result, the Foundation decided several years ago that anything subject to the WTFPL, we would distribute as MIT.
(2) The MIT license is approved.
In any cases, we will have to declare all the CQs of each of these components.
HTH

Dear All,
We have two license related questions.
1. We would like to use the following well-known and commonly used library at the plug-in side.
https://github.com/ronmamo/reflections
It has a strange license, namely WTFPL:
http://www.wtfpl.net/
2. We also implemented a couple of helper scripts which ease the integration of our build process with the CI. They made it possible to build and create several distributions of the plug-in, including the one which contains a portable Eclipse version. We use a 3rd party plug-in to load the CROSSMINER plug-in into this. This plug-in is published under the MIT license.
https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
Are these licenses compatible with EPL, in other words it is allowed to use the above library and plug-in?
Have a nice day!
Gergő
