Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse License in other languages

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the Babel project explicitly
avoids accepting translations of legal files. There's just too much risk
of the subtle legal details getting lost in translation [1]. I don't understand
the relationship between translation and the shared license feature though.
The shared license mechanism is a build time feature. Once built, the license
is in the feature.properties file of your feature, which means it can get
translation by the usual feature translation mechanism. Whether the feature
was built using a shared license or a hard-coded license makes no difference.

Subject	[cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse License in other languages

Hi guys,

I looked around a little, but I couldn't find if are there
translated versions of the Eclipse License.
I'm asking this because I want to know if I should show
a translated version of the EPL when I use Eclipse in another language.
This would lead me to a problem when using the shared license feature,
though.
