| <h1>General</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Q: What platforms does BIRT support?</h2> |
| <p>BIRT should work on any platform on which Eclipse itself works. However, the team |
| builds the product on Windows, and this is the best-tested platform. If you encounter |
| a problem on another platform, please let us know via the |
| <a href="../community.html">newsgroups or Bugzilla</a>. |
| <br><br> |
| The set of target operating environments is listed in the |
| <a href="../project/project_plan_R1_0.html">Project Plan</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Q: What is the licensing for BIRT?</h2> |
| <p> |
| All Eclipse downloads are provided under the terms and conditions of the |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/notice.html"> |
| Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement</a> |
| unless otherwise specified. |
| </p> |
