One interesting suggestion that came back is the idea of using EPL and BSD.
I asked for examples so we could understand what that means… and see if it is a viable compromise for us. Mike Milinkovich wrote: > Sure.

This is neither EPL or BSD and actually results in a 404 :-) Still lets check with the actual source code says… - http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.persistence/trunk/license.html - that actually looks fairly straight forward, license.html says the code is distributed under EPL and EDL (i.e. BSD) and then provides both - this is using the older style license.html conventions that uDig currently follows (so we need another example) ORION Project: http://www.eclipse.org/orion/ Interesting it is using github (or has a try it on github). The website is much more simple the the usual eclipse fair. Source code: https://github.com/eclipse/orion.client Checking what the source code says: - https://github.com/eclipse/orion.client/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.orion.client.core/about.html - straight forward - uses about.html convention so is a good example to follow - does not correctly include the license files (so not a perfect example) So this looks like a good approach and not that much more effort to do. I think this is my preferred option, but let us hear back from the community. -- Jody Garnett
