From the FAQ on the license page: (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-cplfaq.html) Does the CPL allow me to take the source code for a program licensed under it and include all or part of it in another program licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license or other open source license? No. Only the owner of software can decide whether and how to license it to others. Contributors to a Program licensed under the CPL understand that source code for the Program will be made available under the terms of the CPL. Unless you are the owner of the software or have received permission from the owner, you are not authorized to apply the terms of another license to the Program by including it in a program licensed under another open source license. By the way, the same answer applies if you want to include source code licensed under another open source license in a program licensed under the CPL. So it sounds like nothing has changed for us? The conditions about New York were what prevented GPL compliance before, I thought, and that hasn't changed either.
