[mdmbl-dev] Eclipse Intellectual Property Policy and Guidelines

["Angelika Wittek, openMDM(R)" <angelika.wittek.openmdm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear mdmbl developers,

in the last few weeks several IP issues came up. It is absolutely necessary to follow the Eclipse Intellectual Property Policy and Guidelines.

Please read the documentation:

• The Eclipse Project Handbook:  https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/
  
• The Eclipse Legal Process Poster:  https://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf
• The Eclipse IP Process in Eight Cartoons: https://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/ip-process-in-cartoons.php
  

Committers have to fulfill due diligence guidelines (“Sorgfaltspflicht”):
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/committerguidelines.php

I also added the chapter "IP Management and Software Licensing" to our Getting Started Guide:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/images/e/e0/GettingStarted_mdmbl.pdf

The dev team will only approve contributions that fulfill these requirements, besides other criteria like comments, code style, encoding,...

Best regards
Angelika Wittek
