Jeff, that FAQ entry only applies in the case when a project opts to adopt the EPL-2.0 with a secondary license. I don't believe that this is the case.

I believe that this is the entry that applies:

Wayne,
Would you please reply to the linuxtools-dev mailing list clarifying that such permission is not needed for switching to EPL 2.0 without GPL compat option, right?

Sounds great.  In the FAQ, it says that you must have permission from copyright owners.  This is not needed for any Red Hat employee contributions, but we
have a few things we got from external sources (Dockerfile editor and Meson editors come to mind).  Now might be a good time to reach out
to the original copyright holders.

Hi everyone,
What do you think of switching to EPL-2.0? It can be done easily
Please read https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php for details. If you have any concerns raise them on the list. If no objections in next 2 weeks I'll consider this a silent approval and proceed with the change.
