    <em>Abouts</em> contain legal documentation and are maintained in the
    source code repository and subsequently included in builds in <em>Eclipse
      Platform Plug-in and Fragments</em> and other directories. They
    usually contain information about licensing and sometimes also
    information about any use of cryptography. By convention, every
    Eclipse Platform Plug-in and Fragment usually has an <em>About</em>.
  </p>
  <blockquote>
    <p>
      <em>About</em> files are generally only applicable for content that
      that is delivered as <em>Eclipse Platform Plug-ins and Fragments</em>.
      For more information, please see <a
        href="/projects/handbook/#legaldoc">The Eclipse Project Handbook</a>
    </p>
  </blockquote>

  <p>
    All <em>Abouts</em> will be reviewed and approved by the EMO during
    the <a href="/projects/handbook/#release-review">Release Review</a>
    for your project.
  </p>
  <p>
    If you have any questions, please send an email to <a
      href="mailto:license@eclipse.org">license@eclipse.org</a>.
  </p>
  <p>
    There are two <em>About</em> file templates that committers can choose
    from. The <a href="#short">first</a> one is for plug-ins where all of
    the content is to be licensed under the Eclipse Public License (<a
      href="/legal/epl-2.0">EPL</a>). If all the content in an Eclipse
    Platform Plug-in or Fragment, directory or module can be correctly
    licensed under the EPL then this simple (short) template can be used
    without modification.
  </p>
  <p>
    The <a href="#long">second</a> template should be used when at least
    some of the content of the Eclipse Platform Plug-in or Fragment is
    licensed under a license other than the <a href="/legal/epl-2.0">EPL</a>.
    When using this longer template, your <em>Abouts</em> should be
    reviewed and approved by the relevant PMC, who can also assist
    committers with drafting an <em>About</em>.
  </p>
  <p>
    If your project content makes use of Cryptography, please send an
    email to <a href="mailto:license@eclipse.org">license@eclipse.org</a>
    to request assistance in creating the <em>About</em> file.
  </p>
