In addition to Frank's corrections, I have sent a couple questions over to the LocationTech email list.
Q: How much of the above needs to be adapted to work in the Context of LocationTech? - Example: http://www.eclipse.org/legal/copyrightandlicensenotice.php <- covers standard header Q: When working under the LocationTech banner, do we need to engage the language around "redistribution of Eclipse.org content" Specifically points 1 & 2 from "A Guide to the Legal Documentation for Eclipse-based Conrtent": > 1. All of the legal documentation is written on behalf of the Eclipse > Foundation as if it were the distributor of the content. If you redistribute > the content then it is no longer true that Eclipse Foundation is providing > the content. In this case, the content originated with the Eclipse Foundation > and you are redistributing it. > > 2. If you are redistributing the object code under your own license as the > EPL, and other licenses used by the Eclipse.org projects allow you to do > (there may be exceptions), then the existing Eclipse.org legal documentation > can be very misleading to readers since it states that use of the object code > is governed by various open source licenses. -- Jody Garnett On Tuesday, 25 September 2012 at 9:02 AM, Jody Garnett wrote: > Good morning email list, and Andrew / Janet > > We are indeed setting up to re-license.
