feedback on GMT web site
Yes, it provides marketing value to
the contributing organization. Eclipse should remain neutral with respect
to all its contributors, commerical or not. That said, it’s not the
Modeling PMC’s place to decide on this matter, so I’ll defer to Ian
and/or Bjorn to tell us the official word.
I’d just add this final bit... Are there commercial supporters of
academic research that results in contribution to Eclipse? In the case of
openArchitectureWare, are there individuals associated with this organization
that profit from their involvement? It’s a sticky area that I would
rather avoid altogether by removing all links to external contributing
organizations.
Thanks,
Rich

Rich,
Until such time there is a policy for advertising external entities
(commercial, academic, or otherwise) on the Eclipse.org <http://eclipse.org/> website, I
agree that all references should be removed. As Ed mentioned, you won't
find links to IBM or Borland on the EMF or GMF sites.
Do you consider commercial advertisement on the same foot than academic
marking.
I would be interested by an official confirmation of this.
Best regards,
Jean.
