I’m quite certain we will only be able to use ourselves to LGPL or equivalent licenses (if that) as GPL is quite infectious[1]. Using GPL or other copyleft licenses in Eclipse projects would probably be a show-stopper for anyone using i.e. Eclipse RCP in commercial products - and those are many.

Erwin,
Torkild is correct. What you have described is not going to happen.
That said, what you are describing with "Eclipse stamped" and "third
