Good question. I can speak somewhat to the AspectJ side,
but Adrian, et al are the final authorities: The AspectJ 1.5.0
M3/a release probably should have been dual-licensed, and the final
AspectJ 1.5.0 certainly will be.
As background, here's the transition plan as of last year, and some
FAQ's:
There seem to be two action items:
(1) all new development is under the EPL.
AFAIK, we are putting new contributions under the EPL (we've redone a
number of check-in's).
(2) new releases dual-licensed when ...
AspectJ M2 was last december (pre-requirement), but M3/a was just
released. These milestone releases might technically not qualify as
"releases" since they're incomplete (what used to be called alpha, beta, etc.),
but we probably should update the licensing docs for milestones. Also, I
haven't noticed an email from the Eclipse foundation saying that we've reached
the transition point, but I could have missed something.

Subject: [ajdt-dev] Fwd: Shouldn't the EPL be the reigning license by
now? I originally sent the following to the eclipse-dev list, but forgot
that it's now moderated and I'm still waiting for a moderator to forward or
reject it. Nonetheless, I'm curious why AJDT and AspectJ are not
distributed with the EPL?

I
ask because I was under the impression due to the CPL to EPL transition doc
that all new dev streams pass 12/31/2004 were to be licensed under the EPL,
however it has come to my company's legal department's attention that that
isn't the case. AspectJ, AJDT and possibly others are still shipping and
displaying the CPL. So is this an oversight which should be fixed asap
or were there exceptions made to the transition plan that I have
missed?
