Jeff,
The first thing you need to do is to file a IPzilla CQ (Contribution
Questionnaire) explaining the situation. That will trigger the PMC and
the Foundation Legal staff to review the situation. Due to the Eclipse
Foundation's Board-defined IP Policy, this situation (external GFDL
licensed helpd files) may or may not be allowed - I don't know. But I
do know you need to start with a CQ.
Thanks,
Bjorn

Hello,
My name is Jeff Johnston and I work on the Linux Distributions project
at eclipse.org. I wanted to make it known to the Technology PMC that
the following linux-tools plugins make use of help documentation not
hosted on eclipse.org:
org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools
org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools-docs
org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover.library-docs
org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover.glibc
org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover.newlib
The documentation files are accessed via http similar to how Java API
documentation may come from sun.com, for example. The files accessed
are public help documentation and hover help documentation. The hover
help documentation files are simply transformed help documentation
files. The files cannot be hosted on eclipse.org due to the fact that
they are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. If the
files are inaccessible, the plugins carry on without warnings or
errors.
Let me know if any further information is required.
