I am not a lawyer, and even if I was I’m not your lawyer :) That said, I would assert that open source licensing is the better way to go. If for no other reason than that is the mechanism that this group has already adopted. Creating this work as a vendor-neutral open source project at a community like Eclipse is the best way to grow community around a project. The licensing is only a small part of it. The more important part is creating a place where many parties can collaborate on improving the code. I cannot speak for the working group, but I believe that the M2M group wants to grow the collection of open source projects focused on M2M and IoT hosted here. So if you’re interest is in collaborating with the folks in this growing community, an EPL-licensed (or dual-licensed) project hosted at Eclipse under the auspices of the M2M working group is the mechanism to accomplish that. One of the most important questions is whether Thingworx intends to continue to invest in the code and its future evolution. We don’t take “code dumps” at Eclipse.
