My current understanding is that everything needs to be
provided under the Eclipse Public License. Per Kroll might be able to clarify
this for you, he is the project lead for EPF.

Here is a link to the text of the EPL:

Thanks.

Subject	[epf-dev] Clarification for donating IP to Eclipse

Hi Guys:

I need a clarification about donating intellectual property to Eclipse/EPF/BUP.
I am a co-author of the book “Patterns for Effective Use Cases” and I
would like to contribute some of the use case patterns to BUP as part of
the use case writing guidelines. Of course Addison Wesley holds the copyright
to the book. I have asked my editor if AW if AW is willing to yield copyright
to Eclipse. They seem willing but have asked if it is sufficient to give
Eclipse “right to use” or does the Eclipse foundation expect to “own”
the copyright. This is also a question my co-authors have. What is the
expectation here for IP donations?

Best regards,
