Description David Williams CLA 2014-06-04 05:16:23 EDT
I know there's old bugs, somewhere, where I tried to get Kim to update these ... now I guess it's up to me :) 

These are the ones I have commit rights to: 

epl-v10.html - org.eclipse.help-feature
epl-v10.html - org.eclipse.platform-feature/rootfiles
epl-v10.html - org.eclipse.rcp (feature)/rootfiles
epl-v10.html - org.eclipse.releng.tools (feature)
epl-v10.html - org.eclipse.sdk.examples-feature/rootfiles
epl-v10.html - org.eclipse.sdk.tests
epl-v10.html - org.eclipse.sdk.tests (feature)/rootfiles

But for whole story, these "epl" files were produced/converted from "Microsoft Word" document, and thus contains a lot of "non-standard" HTML. Probably 8 years ago, I provided a 'standard', pure HTML version of the document for the Eclipse Foundation which after about 3 years they finally adopted ... so, I'd like us to set a good example and use standard HTML when ever possible. 

I'll do some test builds today, but believe since I will be both committing and pushing since the previous I-build, there is no chance of "messing up" the qualifier heuristics (which would be the only risk of making the change, this late).

FWIW, at this site: 
http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.php

Is a link, on right of page, that says "EPL in plain HTML", which links to 

http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.html

By using 'wget' directly in source tree, it is relatively easy to replace
these files with the correct one, without risk of "contaminating" characters or symbols. 
 
wget -O epl-v10.html http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.html

"standard HTML" version

FWIW, this is a copy of the standard HTML version of the epl document.

This is the fix for "eclipse.platform.releng": 

http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.git/commit/?id=908cc1c51f0cc7aa1b26c907fa31b15aedc8bc66

From a grep of what I have loaded in workspace, this leaves the following as having the inappropriate version: 

eclipse.jdt/org.eclipse.jdt-feature/rootfiles/epl-v10.html
eclipse.pde.build/examples/packaging_p2_product/org.example.releng/features/masterRoot/rootfiles/epl-v10.html
eclipse.pde.build/org.eclipse.pde.build/feature/rootfiles/epl-v10.html
eclipse.pde.build/org.eclipse.pde.build/feature/epl-v10.html
eclipse.platform.team/features/org.eclipse.cvs-feature/rootfiles/epl-v10.html
rt.equinox.framework/features/org.eclipse.osgi.compatibility.plugins.feature/epl-v10.html

I'll count this one as fixed, and (eventually) open bugs on others (I don't consider is a "must fix" for Luna ... just kind of embarrassing).
