Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] getting feature licenses right

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

One can specify an exact version, 2.0.2.v20181016-2210, or one can 
restrict the update site from which you fetch it:

https://download.eclipse.org/cbi/updates/license/2.0.2.v20181016-2210/

So one need not automatically update to any hypothetical future versions...
