[eclipse-dev] Converting the platform to the EPL license

[Kevin Haaland <Kevin_Haaland@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Eclipse Foundation has given the
Eclipse Platform approval to proceed on converting to the EPL license.
 We will do this work in the 3.1 HEAD stream.  Here are the two
steps we will perform:

First, we need to ensure that any contributions
that were not made available under the EPL are removed.  There are
4 contributions that have this characteristic:

bug 12745 - CVS/Entries file timestamp
day field not space padded
bug 14735 - recursive folder resource
creation
bug 22122 - [resources] IResourceChangeDelta
does not handle replaces/move correctly
bug 68737 - Double clicking stack frame
in JUnit failure trace should display source [JUnit]

We will independently implement new
fixes to these defects as soon as possible.

Once this CPL-only code is removed,
each component can update their CPL copyright statements to reflect the
EPL license.  

Sonia has updated the release engineering
tools to automate the updating of the copyright statements. You can get
the latest version here:
