[cross-project-issues-dev] Feature update licenses


I noticed while testing today that several features in the Galileo repository don't have correct feature update licenses. These are the license blurbs declared in your feature.properties file, and are shown when a user installs your feature into the Eclipse platform. The correct content to put here is a plain-text copy of the Eclipse Software User Agreement (SUA). Some projects have put the EPL in there, some have HTML markup, and some just have very short text that doesn't match the SUA. I have entered bug reports for a few cases I noticed, but I suggest all projects quickly review their features to ensure they have the correct content here. This is sometimes caught by the legal review for the release, so it's better to get it fixed now to avoid last minute changes. For more details see section 4.3 of this document:
