Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3557:
----------------------------------
If ASLv2 is acceptable as a compatible license to EPL, then I would think we don't
have to relicense the izpack stuff.
If ASLv2 and LGPL in the installer's *output* is acceptable (but GPL is
*unacceptable*) then we have to change the licenses in
central/plugins/org.jboss.tools.central.themes -- multi-licensed somehow under EPL, *GPL*,
LGPL, Apache v2 and BSD! -- but probably the rest of JBT is OK. I'll look for more
examples of *GPL* code.
My only question here remains: if it's OK to ship a bundle (installer jar) which is
created/distributed under EPL, how is it OK to include software inside that bundle which
is under a DIFFERENT license? Seems a bit bait-and-switch to me... you accept EPL for the
installer, but then suddenly you've got differently-licensed code on disk. [~fontana]

JBDS Installer should be EPL licensed
