At the risk of being completely pedantic, the LGPLv2.1 topic is
actually a feature of the Eclipse Science top-level project, not
the working group. Here is the resolution passed by the Board in
February 2017 (
minutes).
You might actually want to add a copy of this resolution to the
top-level
project charter, with a link back to the minutes to make
this easier for people to find and understand.
Approval of the Science Top-Level Project to allow
the distribution of LGPL v2.1 dependencies
Mike Milinkovich introduced a proposal to allow the distribution
of LGPL v2.1 dependencies
under the Science top-level project, the related materials for
which is attached as Appendix B.
Mike indicated this was originally discussed at the October,
2016 board meeting, and at that time
it was requested that the IP Advisory Committee discuss whether
there were licensing concerns
related to this request; Mike reported the Committee had no
concerns. The Board unanimously
approved the following resolution:
RESOLVED, The Board unanimously approves the use of
the GNU Lesser
General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 for dynamically
linked Java-language thirdparty
components distributed by projects under the Science Top-Level
Project. The EMO
will provide guidance to the projects to ensure that
downstream consumers are aware that
any such Eclipse Science projects contain LGPL 2.1-licensed
components.
