Using the Eclipse Dash License Tool
The Eclipse Dash License Tool identifies the licenses of content. It is intended primarily for use by Eclipse committers to vet third party content used by their Eclipse open source project.
The Eclipse Dash License Tool is intended to assist with the process of determining the licenses of third party content and help committers identify intellectual property that require further scrutiny. The tool, like any tool, is only as good as the input provided. This documentation provides examples of how input into the tool can be tuned; these examples should be regarded as such: examples. Ultimately, is the responsibility of committers to understand the nature of their project and the third party content it requires.
In this session, Wayne talked about the Eclipse Dash License Tool, committer responsibilities, and some challenges that are associated with including the tool in automated workflows.
