It will be Eclipse Public License. I will verify compatibility issue, 
but I'm sure it will be very compatible with Apache Software License.

Sure we will refactor everything into org.eclipse.ecp.* I do not want to 
do it before project will be approved by Eclipse MC, but this is an 
issue of few weeks.

Good point. What do you think we need apart of this forum? Will project 
wiki be enough? I mean I do not want to spend a whole lot of time on 
temporary solution, at the same time I agree with you and I think some 
very "technical" wiki based pages will be good enough, with all 
committees being able to modify the content and add there materials. 
Please give me your opinion.

So far it is ECP, Eclipse Components Platform or Enterprise Component 
Platform, if you have your opinion, please, tell it to us.
