| <p> |
| Effective today, the Eclipse Foundation has made a number of changes to the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/termsofuse.php"> |
| Eclipse.org web site terms </a> |
| of use. This document describes the conditions under which people use the eclipse.org web site, |
| including contributions to the Eclipse community via bugzilla, mailing lists and newsgroups. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| There are two main reasons for the changes: |
| <ol> |
| <li>The updated terms of use establishes a framework for licensing non-code contributions, like articles, |
| wikis, blogs, etc, under a license other than the EPL. The previous terms of use was not clear on |
| non-code contributions. Right now, we have not defined the additional licenses, but in the future the |
| updated terms of use will provide the flexibility to license non-code contributions under different |
| licenses, e.g. a Creative Commons license. We hope to get the required Eclipse Board of Directors |
| approvals in place soon.</li><br><br> |
| <li>In September 2008, the Eclipse IP Policy was changed to introduce the concept of a Project License(s). |
| This was primarily done to allow for the scenario where an Eclipse project may be dual licensed. For |
| example, the Eclipse Link project needed to be available under a BSD license so it could be used as |
| the reference implementation for JPA 2.0. The web site terms of use document has been updated to |
| reflect that contributions to a project would be done under the Project License(s), not just the EPL. <br> |
| |
| We do not anticipate that many projects will become dual licensed. The decision to allow a project to be |
| dual license is done on a case-by-case basis and requires the unanimous approval of the Eclipse Board of |
| Directors. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The updated <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/termsofuse.php">terms of use</a> have been approved by the IP Advisory Committee of the Eclipse Board of |
| Directors and will become effective November 12, 2008. Any questions or comments should be directed to |
| <a href="mailto:license@eclipse.org">license@eclipse.org</a>. |
