Re: [leshan-dev] leshan's license terms

[Julien Vermillard <jvermillard@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

It's up to the consumer to choose the license (EDL or EPL)

Maybe we can add a link to this FAQ?: https://eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php#DUALLIC

In a nutshell (keep in mind I'm not a lawyer) :

EPL have a weak copyleft and a patent grant. The copyleft can be an issue when you need to tweak the code for running on your platform. In this case you can pick the EDL (which is a BSD license), no copyleft but it doesn't provide the patent grant.

Hi,

 

The project website at eclipse (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/iot.leshan) indicates that the project uses two licenses

 

-          Eclipse Distribution License

-          Eclipse Public License

 

I was wondering what this is supposed to mean for the users of leshan. Does it mean that they can choose either one of the licenses under which terms and conditions they would like to use leshan or does it mean that leshan is always licensed under the combined terms & conditions defined by the two licenses? I think we should also clarify this on the project website (I’ll be glad to do that once I know the answer J)

 

Regards,

Kai
