I have been meaning to post that one for a long time, please pardon my dust.
I had an odd question from a STP user the other day:
“So”, he said, “what license are you guys working with ?”
It sounded too obvious. Then he added that he had browsed the website without finding the license page.
Truth is, compared to the Apache websites who always have a direct link to the license, in Eclipse you have to browse for the Legal Resources to grab your copy of the EPL.
So how about adding a link somewhere in the Phoenix template to send to our license ? If you think that is a good idea, please vote for Bug 198975 – Add a link to the EPL.
Every single page on eclipse.org has a “Legal” link on the top right corner and a “Terms of Use” link on the bottom left corner. Either of those links will get you right to the EPL.
Why not link to the EPL you ask? Because the way you give/receive content on eclipse.org is actually via the “Licenses” section in the Terms of Use. So legally speaking (IANAL, TINLA), it is more accurate to refer people to the terms of use.
I hope this helps!
