The Eclipse Foundation requested [1] that all Eclipse projects licensed under EPL-1.0I [2] should relicense to EPL-2.0 [3]. Find the EPL-2.0 FAQ here [4]. Implementing this means that we need to change the LICENSE file and all license headers [5].

I propose that we implement this license change with the next minor EGit release 5.1.

I think it's a bit too late to squeeze this into the upcoming 5.0 release.

Please provide feedback until June 4.

I agree with switching to EPL-2.0.

We _are_ already using EPL-2.0 for EGit. The shared license feature already uses version “0.0.0” for the version, and thus installing EGit presents the user with EPL 2.0.

JGit, however, is still packaged with EGit 1.0. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=532265 . 

The about.html files will also need to be updated.

What about egit-github?

If it’s only changing the headers, about.html, and LICENSE files, can’t we do that for 5.0? Would be more fitting… but I’m also OK with doing this for 5.1.
