<h2>Preamble</h2> | |
<p>The GNU General Public License version 2, plus <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/license.html" target="_blank">Classpath Exception</a> (GPL+CE) | |
is a widely used license in the Java ecosystem. This policy outlines how an Eclipse project may request approval to use or distribute | |
a GPL+CE-licensed library, and the steps they will have to make use of it.</p> | |
<p>This policy relies upon and uses the terms from the | |
<a href="Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf">Guidelines for the Review of Third Party Dependencies</a>, | |
and the <a href="/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf">Eclipse Due Diligence Process</a>. | |
<h2>Policy</h2> | |
<ol> | |
<li>Distribution of any GPL+CE-licensed prerequisites by an Eclipse project will require | |
super-majority approval by the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors. Use of a | |
GPL+CE-licensed library as a works-with dependency will require approval by the EMO.</li></br> | |
<li>Do not create any derivative work from the GPL+CE-licensed code outside of the GPL+CE | |
licensed component. Where possible and reasonable, it is recommended that changes made | |
to the GPL+CE licensed component be offered back upstream to the original source of | |
development. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact license@eclipse.org.</li></br> | |
<li>Many open source projects do not provide binaries for their GPL+CE-licensed code. If | |
the Eclipse project builds the executable form of the code from source, it must provide | |
all source and build scripts such that a third party may attempt to re-build the | |
distributed binary.</li> | |
</ol> | |
<p>If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact | |
<a href="mailto:license@eclipse.org">license@eclipse.org</a></p> | |
