The only place where people can go and download ECP NOW is Exadel's web 
site. This is simply because we just a proposal, not approved project 
yet. And, yes, we need to clean up a mess that we have with licensing. 
We release E5 (which was our prototype for ECP, our internal project) 
under LGPL initially and now we have nothing against EPL. Sure we need 
to undertake a great job of refactoring, clearing everything and putting 
references to EPL everywhere in the product. But, for now, I just ask 
Alex to explicitly mention license in his post.

So, the code that was released is currently under LGPL and EPL. I do not 
have a legal team behind me to do more than I just did.

Best,
Igor.
