this does not matter for Eclipse projects - what matters first is that 
the IP log is clean.

The if the license is *not* EPL it needs to get specific approval to be 
included.

If we can get these IP cleared then yes, this could be used - but I 
wonder why IBM/orion group
didn't just use tern. They told me "because its not IP cleared"...

In any case - having two different javascript parser for the exact same 
thing in eclipse tooling
could be annoying over time.

Thus i'm considering what options do we have for this ?
