Hello Bjorn,
OK, so we will have two
update sites – one with EPL features on eclipse.org and another with
non-EPL features on polarion.org. Plus we will put description about licenses,
as you proposed. This solution isn’t user friendly, but from another side
it’s not very complicated.
Today I submitted two
new items to IPZilla: https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1648
and https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1649.
First related to SVNKit (pure Java SVN client) - it will be good if Eclipse
legal team can review its license, so probably we can find the way how to use
it under EPL terms. Second is SVN library interfaces, which should be approved
separately as we follow the way to split Subversive distribution on two parts (eclipse.org
and polarion.org).
Best regards,
Igor Vinnykov

Subversion
Igor,
I'm note sure we've been completely clear on what is and is not allowed at this
moment. So let me clear:
- The Subversive project may _not_ have a site.xml
on eclipse.org pointing to features on polarion.org (or other
non-eclipse.org sites).
- The Subversive project _must_ have English prose
on the Subversive downloads page on eclipse.org that explains that one of
the clients is required for operation and that the clients have different
non-EPL licenses and that the user will want to check those licenses
before downloading. Additionally, the English prose will provide the URL
to the polarion.org update site containing those non-EPL clients.
- Bjorn

Hello Janet,
Sorry I forgot to
mention this notice in my summary. Sure that we will put it to project pages
and downloads.

Hi Igor,
The end user will need to
be aware of the software they are downloading and the terms under which they
are obtaining the software. In doing the implementation, it is important
that you prominently display the following notice:
Please note that the use of the software you are about to
access may be subject to third party terms and conditions and you are
responsible for abiding by such terms and conditions.
Regards,
Janet
