Hi again,
"The Eclipse Distribution License is an OSI Approved Open Source License
by means of the New BSD License
<http://www.opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause>".
Source: https://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/edl-v10.php
The New BSD License refers to a 3-Clause BSD License.
Source: https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause
GPL and 3-Clause BSD License are compatible according to FSF:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses#3-clause_license_(%22BSD_License_2.0%22,_%22Revised_BSD_License%22,_%22New_BSD_License%22,_or_%22Modified_BSD_License%22)
So if the EDL is used, there is no incompatibility.
Jody, could you please confirm this.

Hi,
JTS is dual-licensed under:
- Eclipse Public License 2.0
- Eclipse Distribution License 1.0 (a BSD Style License)
This second licence, if BSD style, should normally be compatible with
the GPL one.

hey All,
just noticed that locationtech relicensed JTS to EPL2, which as far
as i read it is incompatible to the GPL (any version).
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#h.mz8pxljvc07w
the mentioned "Exhibit A — Form of Secondary Licenses Notice" seems
to be empty in JTS' version of the license
https://github.com/locationtech/jts/blob/master/LICENSE_EPLv2.txt
note we are not allowed to relicense JUMP code to something other
than a later GPL version.
Geotools being LGPL'd seems to be compatible, so they didn't run into
problems here

i'll CC Jody, maybe he can shed some light.
