[dsdp-tm-dev] FYI: TCF Agent migration to EDL completed

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

this is to inform you that the "agent" portion of TCF has successfully

migrated to an EPL / EDL dual-licensing scheme.

 

The EDL (Eclipse Distribution License) is a very permissive BSD

license, which basically says that you can pick up, compile, modify,

distribute the sources at your will as long as a single disclaimer

is distributed along with the final product.

 

Compared to the EPL, this particularly means that products picking

up the TCF agent do *not* need to specify what source file versions

exactly went into the product, which makes distribution and shipping

of commercial products such as mobile phones etc a lot easier.

 

For more info, committers can read the CQ:

and everyone can read the EDL text:

Cheers,
