Thank you Mike. We really appreciate
your efforts and the consideration by the board.
Proceeding with the revised Science TLP makes a lot of sense IMHO.
I'll consult with the Steering committee so we can make an
official decision.
I do want to add that asking for board permission for LGPL
prerequisites on a case by case basis is still an option for
projects.
Kind regards, and thanks again.

All,
I would like to inform you that the draft charter for the
Science Top-Level Project was rejected by the Eclipse Foundation
Board of Directors in their face-to-face meeting last week.
Their concerns were entirely related to the licensing section,
which went beyond the norms and precedents set by other project
communities at Eclipse.
However, the Board did approve a revised version of
the Science TLP charter, with a revised licensing section
included below. If you want to proceed with this charter, we
could start the necessary re-structuring soon. Of course, that
is entirely your decision to make. Please advise how you would
like to proceed. I am happy to join a future Science WG call to
discuss if that would be helpful.
Licensing
Approved licenses for projects under Science include:
- The Eclipse Public License (EPL),
- The EPL and the Eclipse Distribution License (EDL, also
known as 3-clause BSD),
- The EPL and the MIT License, and
- The EPL and the Apache License Version 2 (ALv2),
with preference given to the EPL and EDL.
This list may be amended from time to time by the Science PMC
subject to the unanimous approval by the Eclipse Foundation
Board of Directors
