I can release the unit test framework with any license, as I wrote it. I 
certainly can relicense it to be EPL.

Actually it's LGPL. The doxygen support was not developed by me (I did just 
some minor modifications to use it from my infrastructure the diff is 
attached).

the original code can be downloded at 
http://www.scons.org/wiki/DoxygenBuilder?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=doxygen.py

As it came with the LGPL license I am not at the liberty to relicense it. But 
it would be easy to remove the capability to generate doxygen documentation 
from the plugin.

I don't see any problems with the unit test framework, as I write it and I can 
relicense it to EPL.

> The scons builder is pure EPL, right?
Yes, except for the above mentioned template that is used to generate doxygen 
documentation which is LGPL.
