I am one of the developers of EPL

about the usage rule of EPL 1.0.
Honestly, I don't know the answer to this question. If no one
else on this list can answer it, then I would suggest trying
license-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Historically, the Eclipse Foundation does not allow anonymous
contributions, but I believe that is because we want to ensure
complete transparency on the provenance of all our project's code.
- I learned in the 27th clause
of FAQ of EPL 1.0 saying that
"if
you've written your own Eclipse Platform Plug-in with 100%
your own code to implement functionality not currently in
Eclipse, then it is not a derivative work" and "For clarity,
merely interfacing or interoperating with Eclipse Platform
Plug-in APIs (without modification) does not make an Eclipse
Platform Plug-in a derivative work. " I wrote myself a
J2V8 derivative work and "A Software". "A Software"
(licensed under Apache 2.0) can call the J2V8 derivative
work by APIs, but the former is not
the plug-in of the latter. In this case, can "A
software" still prevent from being contaminated by EPL
1.0?
I am sorry, but I am not sure I completely understand the
scenario you're describing. Could you try to restate the scenario?
In what way is your software a J2V8 derivative work?
You can use the EPL 2.0.
I really appreciate
your time and patience! Looking forward for your reply!
I hope this was helpful!
