| <h2> |
| <a name="What"></a>2.0 What will this document explain? |
| </h2> |
| <p>In this document you will be introduced to the basic Eclipse.org legal |
| documentation styles; Agreements, Abouts, Licenses and Notices. For each of |
| these styles, we have provided a brief overview, some background information |
| and instructions pertaining to where you can find them as well as where you |
| should place them. After describing the framework used for legal |
| documentation in Eclipse-based content, this document will explain how you |
| should redistribute Eclipse.org content and will offer suggestions as to how |
| you may wish to deal with the delivery of legal documentation when including |
| non-Eclipse.org content in your product.</p> |
| <h2> |
| <a name="Why"></a>3.0 Why so many notices? |
| </h2> |
| <p>Most software products are delivered with a single license file. This file |
| is usually found in the root directory of the installation or in some |
| obviously-named directory such as "license" or "legal." |
| This straightforward mechanism is used even if there are differently |
| licensed components in the product. In those cases, the single license file |
| may actually contain multiple licenses or notices and it is usually clear |
| which parts of the product each license or notice applies to.</p> |
| <p> |
| Eclipse-based content is highly modularized to facilitate ease of delivery, |
| extensibility, and upgradeability. Important modular concepts in the Eclipse |
| space include <i>plug-ins</i>, <i>plug-in fragments</i> (herein called |
| "fragments"), and <i>features</i>. A typical Eclipse installation |
| may potentially include plug-ins and features authored and/or distributed by |
| many different parties including the Eclipse Foundation, other open-source |
| organizations, and commercial vendors. |
| </p> |
| <p>The content that is developed and maintained at Eclipse.org is a very large |
| codebase that is continuously evolving and may be accessed in a multitude of |
| ways.</p> |
| <p>For example:</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Some parts of the content are constantly changing with updates being |
| committed on an almost continuous basis. With committers on a single |
| project spread across many time zones development may be occurring 24x7.</li> |
| <li>Most of the content is licensed under the <a |
| href="../org/documents/epl-v10.php" |
| >Eclipse Public License Version 1.0 ("EPL")</a>, although at the |
| discretion of the Board of Directors a project may be dual-licensed, or |
| even be maintained under another license altogether. However, the |
| codebase also contains redistributions of many packages maintained at |
| sites other than Eclipse.org, or content based on such packages. For |
| example, there may be redistributions of packages from the <a |
| href="http://www.apache.org" target="_blank" |
| >Apache Software Foundation</a> such as Ant and Tomcat, or code based on |
| parts of such packages. These packages may be offered under licenses |
| other than the EPL. |
| </li> |
| <li>The content at Eclipse.org may be accessed and downloaded in many |
| ways. Most projects create builds on a regular basis. Some projects |
| create many builds for different platforms and configurations on a daily |
| basis. Because these builds are created straight from the Eclipse.org |
| source code repositories, recently committed updates are found in the |
| builds. It is also possible to access content directly from the source |
| code repositories or to download new or updated features using the |
| Eclipse Update Manager.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p>All of these content characteristics call for a modular approach to legal |
| documentation. Consequently, any distribution of content originating from |
| Eclipse.org should contain notices as described in the following sections.</p> |
| <h2> |
| <a name="LegalDoc"></a>4.0 Eclipse.org legal documentation |
| </h2> |
| <h3>4.1 Software User Agreement</h3> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Basics:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The top-level umbrella agreement is the <a href="epl/notice.php" |
| target="_blank" |
| >Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement</a>. The Software User |
| Agreement, to be called "SUA" herein, is not actually a license - |
| it does not grant any rights to use the software and that is why it must |
| reference other legal notices and agreements. The main purpose of the SUA is |
| to describe the potential layout of the legal documentation in the |
| accompanying content. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Details:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p>The most important wording is that which says that the EPL applies to all |
| the content unless otherwise indicated. Note that although the EPL is used |
| by all projects at the Eclipse Foundation, at the discretion of the Board of |
| Directors a project may be dual-licensed, or even be maintained under |
| another license altogether.</p> |
| <p>The rest of the text describes the other kinds of notices or licenses that |
| may be found in the content. There is also a short paragraph under the |
| heading "Cryptography" which lets you know that the content may |
| contain cryptography.</p> |
| <p>You will also often see on many of the download pages at Eclipse.org, text |
| that says:</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p> |
| All downloads are provided under the terms and conditions of the <a |
| href="epl/notice.php" target="_blank" |
| >Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement</a> unless otherwise |
| specified. |
| </p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Location:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p>The SUA usually appears in the root directory of Eclipse builds as the file |
| named "notice.html". A copy of the Project's primary license(s) |
| must appear in the same location as the SUA. In most cases this will be the |
| Eclipse Public License alone.</p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> The appropriate SUA and a copy of any referenced |
| license <strong>must</strong> be located in the root directory of any |
| Eclipse.org distributed build (typically distributed as a ZIP file). Any web |
| page that makes builds available <strong>must </strong>have a link to the |
| appropriate SUA with appropriate wording. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <em>The SUA Checklist</em> |
| </p> |
| <ul class="checklist"> |
| <li><label for="o31"><input id="o31" name="o31" type="checkbox" />Every |
| build distribution has the standard SUA in the root as |
| "notice.html"</label></li> |
| <li><label for="o32"><input id="o32" name="o32" type="checkbox" />Every |
| build distribution has a copy of the primary license(s) in the root, |
| e.g., "epl-v10.html"</label></li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3> |
| <a name="Abouts"></a>4.2 Abouts |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Basics:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p>Any directory containing content that is licensed under different terms |
| than the license(s) referred to by the SUA, should be detailed in a file |
| named "about.html." We call these files "Abouts." Abouts |
| usually contain licensing terms as well as other information such as whether |
| content contains cryptographic functionality that may be subject to export |
| controls.</p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Details:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Most plug-ins will contain a default About that simply confirms that all the |
| content in that plug-in is made available under the EPL. There are other |
| plug-ins, however, that will contain content licensed under licenses other |
| than or in addition to the EPL and/or third party content provided under |
| other licenses. If you are the maintainer of a plug-in for an Eclipse.org |
| project, please see the <a href="epl/about.php" target="_blank"> About |
| templates for plugins</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p>Since most plug-ins do NOT contain specially-licensed content, most |
| plug-ins will contain only the default About. The plug-ins with the special |
| Abouts are the "interesting" ones that most users will want to |
| read.</p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> All plug-ins and fragments should contain an About. |
| All Eclipse.org plug-ins and fragments must contain either one of the |
| default Abouts or a special About written and/or approved by the Eclipse |
| Foundation. In JAR’ed plug-ins, any local files linked from the About |
| such as copies of licenses, must be located in a directory called |
| "about_files." |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Location:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p>Although Abouts may be found potentially in any directory, they should |
| always be found in plug-ins and fragments. Previously, plug-ins and |
| fragments were usually packaged as sub-directories of a directory named |
| "plugins." Currently, plug-ins and fragments may also be packaged |
| as JARs (Java™ ARchives). For JAR’ed plug-ins, any local files |
| linked from an About such as copies of licenses, must be located in a |
| directory called "about_files." The contents of the |
| "about_files" directory are handled specially so that links |
| resolve correctly when the About in a JAR’ed plug-in is viewed in an |
| external browser spawned from the About dialog.</p> |
| <p>As an example:</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <table cellspacing="4"> |
| <tr> |
| <td><i>eclipse</i></td> |
| <td>(installation root directory)</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> <i>notice.html</i></td> |

| </tr> |
| <tr> |

| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> <i>asl-v20.txt</i></td> |
| <td>Apache Software License referenced by About</td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p> |
| Users looking for legal documentation may find the Abouts by browsing the |
| directory structure of an Eclipse installation but the files are also |
| viewable from the "About plug-ins" dialog in the Eclipse |
| workbench. To view the Abouts, go to the menu item <strong>Help -> About |
| Eclipse Platform</strong> and then click on the button "Plug-in |
| Details" and then select a plug-in and click on the button "More |
| Info." |

| <h3>4.3 Features Licenses and Feature Update Licenses</h3> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Basics:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p>A feature is a set of one or more related plug-ins and/or fragments that |
| can be installed and upgraded together. There are three important legal |
| documentation files for features, the Feature License (license.html), the |
| Feature Update License (feature.properties > license) and the Feature |
| Blurb (about.properties > blurb).</p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Details:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <em>The Feature License</em> |
| </p> |
| <p>Each feature has a file named "license.html." We call this a |
| "Feature License." In Eclipse.org builds, this file is an exact |
| copy of the file "notice.html" that is found in the root directory |
| of the distribution. In other words, it is the SUA.</p> |
| <p> |
| <em>The Feature Update License</em> |
| </p> |
| <p>Each feature has a file named "feature.properties." In that file |
| is a property named "license". This is known as the "Feature |
| Update License." For Eclipse.org builds, the Feature Update License is |
| an exact copy of the SUA in PLAIN TEXT format. Feature Update Licenses must |
| be delivered in that format whereas all the other files we’ve covered |
| so far have been HTML files.</p> |
| <p> |
| <em>The Feature Blurb</em> |
| </p> |
| <p>Each feature has at least one plug-in associated with it which is the |
| "feature plug-in" for that feature. Not surprisingly, this plug-in |
| usually has the same name as the feature. The property named |
| "blurb" contains text that appears in the "About |
| features" dialog in the Eclipse workbench. This is known as a |
| "Feature Blurb." Blurbs often contain copyright notices and any |
| other statements of attribution that may be required by licenses.</p> |
| <p> |
| <em>What’s the difference?</em> |
| </p> |
| <p>The difference between the Feature License and Feature Update License is |
| when they are shown to the user. The Feature License is only available once |
| a feature has been installed. The Feature Update License is seen when a user |
| is using the Eclipse Update Manager to install or upgrade a feature and must |
| agree to an agreement before proceeding with the installation. One thing |
| that is important to note is that with the distributed licensing model used |
| by plug-ins, unless a Feature Update License contains an aggregation of all |
| the notices from the plug-ins for a feature, a user will not be able to see |
| these notices before installing the feature. It is for this reason that the |
| maintainer of a feature may choose to have different text for the Feature |
| License and Feature Update License.</p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Note: </strong>All features must contain a Feature License and a |
| Feature Update License in the directory for that feature. The |
| feature’s plug-in must contain a Feature Blurb. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Location:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <em>The Feature License</em> |
| </p> |
| <p>The Feature License is found in the feature directory which is usually a |
| sub-directory of the directory named "features." Any referenced |
| files (for example, the EPL or the SUA) are located in the same location.</p> |
| <p> |
| <em>The Feature Update License</em> |
| </p> |
| <p>The Feature Update License is found in the feature directory which is |
| usually a sub-directory of the directory named "features." Any |
| referenced files (for example, the EPL or the SUA) are located in the same |
| location.</p> |
| <p> |
| <em>The Feature Blurb</em> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The Feature Blurb resides in the "plugins" directory as either a |
| sub-directory or a JAR. In the feature plug-in there is a file named |
| "about.properties.", the Feature Blurb is the property named |
| "blurb". To view the blurb for each installed feature, go to the |
| menu item <strong>Help > About Eclipse Platform</strong> and then click |
| "Feature Details" and then select a feature. The blurb will appear |
| in the bottom half of the dialog. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <em>The Feature Checklist</em> |
| </p> |
| <ul class="checklist"> |
| <li><label for="o41"><input id="o41" name="o41" type="checkbox" />Every |
| feature has the standard SUA in <u>HTML</u> in "license.html"</label></li> |
| <li><label for="o42"><input id="o42" name="o42" type="checkbox" />Every |
| feature has the Project’s primary license(s) (e.g., typically the |
| EPL in "epl-v10.html")</label></li> |
| <li><label for="o43"><input id="o43" name="o43" type="checkbox" />Every |
| feature has the standard SUA in <u>plain text</u> in "feature.xml |
| <license>" or "feature.properties / license"</label></li> |
| <li><label for="o44"><input id="o44" name="o44" type="checkbox" />Every |
| feature plug-in has copyright notices, etc. in the "blurb" |
| property of "about.properties"</label></li> |

| <h3>4.4 Notices in source code</h3> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Basics:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p>Where practical, all source code (which includes Java source as well other |
| types of files such as XML, HTML, etc.) should contain appropriate copyright |
| and license notices as well information on each contribution.</p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Details:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The standard format for these notices can be found at www.eclipse.org > |
| Legal Stuff > <a href="copyrightandlicensenotice.php" target="_blank"> |
| Default Copyright and License Notice</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p>If the source is to be licensed under a license other than or in addition |
| to the EPL, you must ensure that the Eclipse Foundation has approved the |
| notice.</p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Location:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p>In the source code.</p> |
| <h3>4.5 Notices in documentation</h3> |
| <p> |
| <strong>The Basics:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p>The Legal page has a copyright notice and a link to the About in the |
| plug-in that contains the book.</p> |
| <p>An example is shown below:</p> |
| <img src="guidetolegaldoc_files/Help_legal_page.jpg" width="598" height="260"> |
| <p> </p> |
| <strong>The Location:</strong> |
| <p>Documentation books usually contain a "Legal" page as the last |
| page in the book.</p> |
| <h2> |
| <a name="Redistribution"></a>5.0 Redistribution of Eclipse.org content |
| </h2> |
| <p>There are a number of considerations when redistributing an Eclipse.org |
| build in or with your own products. Such redistribution also covers |
| redistribution of a subset of an Eclipse.org build such as one or more |
| plug-ins or features from the build. Specifically:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>All of the legal documentation is written on behalf of the Eclipse |
| Foundation as if it were the distributor of the content. If you |
| redistribute the content then it is no longer true that Eclipse Foundation |
| is providing the content. In this case, the content originated with the |
| Eclipse Foundation and you are redistributing it.</li> |
| <li>If you are redistributing the object code under your own license as the |
| EPL, and other licenses used by the Eclipse.org projects allow you to do |
| (there may be exceptions), then the existing Eclipse.org legal |
| documentation can be very misleading to readers since it states that use |
| of the object code is governed by various open source licenses.</li> |
| <li>Although the distributed model of the SUA, Abouts, Feature License, and |
| Feature Update Licenses is necessary for the dynamic model of content |
| distribution from Eclipse.org, it may not suit your situation. The |
| downside of this model is that users have to locate and read many files to |
| find all the terms and conditions. In most cases, redistributors want to |
| present a single license although you may want to consider how you will |
| updates provided through the Eclipse Update Manager for example.</li> |
| <li>Changing any of the existing legal documentation requires a change in |
| the version number of any affected component. Soon, the Eclipse Foundation |
| will begin to digitally sign JAR’ed plug-ins and features and we |
| will likely see developers of Eclipse-based content do the same thing. |
| Thus it’s pretty clear that altering or removing any of the legal |
| documentation is not really an option. Instead it is better to put |
| appropriate wording in your license explaining that the content was |
| originally obtained from the Eclipse Foundation under open source licenses |
| including the EPL, and that you are redistributing it and potentially |
| relicensing it. Such an explanation will provide the opportunity and |
| context for the flowdowns in 3 b) of the EPL.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>If you wish to cover the entire redistribution with a single license then |
| you will likely want to locate the necessary licenses for the |
| "special" Abouts and fulfill the obligations of those licenses |
| such as flowing down disclaimers, etc.</p> |
| <h2> |
| <a name="3rdParty"></a>6.0 Legal documentation in non-Eclipse.org content |
| </h2> |
| <p> |
| If you are delivering your own Eclipse-based content then it will likely be |
| packaged as plug-ins and features. In these cases it is desirable to follow |
| the framework described above so that users can view Abouts, Feature |
| Licenses, and Feature Update Licenses. You will likely want a single license |
| to cover the entire package of your own content plus the redistributed |
| Eclipse.org code. You may therefore wish to point out which plug-ins and/or |
| features are being redistributed from the Eclipse Foundation and which are |
| originating from you. You may wish to have the Abouts, Feature Licenses, and |
| Feature Update Licenses in your own plug-ins and features, simply point the |
| user back to the single license in the root directory of the installation |
| rather than duplicating the text everywhere. Of course if you deliver |
| additional or updated features packaged on an update site for download and |
| installation with the Eclipse Update Manager (in which case you should read |
| the <a href="updatemanager.php" target="_blank">Eclipse Foundation Update |
| Manager Agreement</a> found on the Legal Stuff page at eclipse.org) you |
| will probably want to make the user aware of any additional terms and |
| conditions by adding them to the relevant documents. |
| </p> |
| <h2> |
| <a name="Summary"></a>7.0 Summary |
| </h2> |
| <p>There are many legal documentation issues to consider when redistributing |
| Eclipse.org content and delivering Eclipse-based content. It is important |
| that you fully understand what you are redistributing and delivering, and |
| how it will be delivered and thus how your users will encounter (and where |
| necessary agree to) legal documentation, so that you can ensure your |
| conformity with, and their acceptance of, the requirements set forth in the |
| applicable license agreements.</p> |
