[eclipse.org-membership-at-large] Re-Contribution to EPL
|
All,
As part of its formation, the Eclipse Foundation is required to migrate
from the Common Public License (“CPL”) to the Eclipse Public License (“EPL”) for
all Content published under its auspices.
To make this transition, Eclipse requires
the help of all of its Members to agree to re-contribute all contributions to
Eclipse.org under the terms of the CPL, where these contributions were made
prior to September 9th, 2004.
The attached document "EPL
Re-contribution Letter Final.pdf" explains the background in greater detail.
Please note in particular that:
- All Members have agreed to use the EPL
when they signed the Eclipse Foundation Membership Agreement;
and
- Contributions can include any source
code, documentation, bug fixes, designs, suggestions, material and/or other
intellectual property submitted through the Eclipse newsgroups, mailing lists,
Bugzilla bug reporting system and/or otherwise made available on the www.eclipse.org website by your company's
employees, consultants, etc. Basically, if someone has filed a bug report or a
posted to a newsgroup your organization has made a
contribution.
Please complete the attached document
"Eclipse Re-License Permission Form Final.pdf" and fax it to the Eclipse
Foundation no later than December 15,
2004.
If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact either Carolyn Hayden (cc'd) above or
myself.
Thank you for your attention to this
matter.
