[News.eclipse.foundation] License question

I have the following scenario:
To create a language environment for a language X I need a mechanism similar to the jdt classpath. Unfortunately I can't reuse the jdt classes without modifications, though. At least not in a way that would make sense.
I read through the CPL, but I am still not sure how to answer the following questions:
1. Am I allowed to copy and modify jdt source files and integrate them into my plugin?
2. Do I need to keep IBM's copyright notice in those source files? I am planning to distribute the source code. Who owns the copyright to the modified source files? For some files the only difference may be simple renaming, such as Java -> X.
3. Is the answer to the above questions different for commercial / non-commercial use of eclipse code? Mine is non-commercial open source.


Thanks,
Lutz
