> We would like to change Forge from the LGPL license to the EPL license; this will remove the restriction on Plugin licensing which currently requires Plugins to be written with a compatible open-source license. We don't want to restrict how people can develop and distribute plugins, and the EPL license is much more permissive in this regard; while maintaining the same open-source requirements for the core Forge framework itself, plugins may be developed under any license a person would wish to use.

> Additionally, the reason we need to ask for this permission is because some of our contributors have not yet signed the JBoss CLA for Forge. Once we change to EPL, the CLA will not be necessary :)
