| Re: [cbi-dev] Building and distributing the Eclipse IDE? |
Hi Lars,
no, I'm not aware of any regulation that prohibits building and distributing an Eclipse IDE, but I may be wrong.
Distributing it with the same name, e. g. Eclipse Classic or any other 'Eclipse' naming seems to be a different issue, at least to me.
Independent from the outcome of this discussion I would be really careful releasing self-compiled bundles with the same ID and version/qualifier into the wild.
Yoxos itself launches a given set of bundles. So far we never compiled them on our own machines, we always consumed what was already there.
Thanks, Markus
Hi,I have a non technical question wrt. building the Eclipse IDE / SDK. This topic came up in a discussion on the EclipseCon.If someone has its own build of the Eclipse IDE, can he offer it for download? I heard that only Eclipse.org is allowed to do this. I think it would be strange if we encourage people to build their own Eclipse IDE but don't allow them to distribute it. In addition AFAIK Fedora ships a custom build as well as Yoxos ships custom Eclipse distributions. Anyone knows the rules about this?Best regards, Lars
