------------------------------------------------------------

To Denis' point... should we include updated/revised software license terms in the EULA in the installer [1] ? 

[1] http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/licenses/GLOBAL_EULA_JBoss_English_20101110.pdf

Currently, the EULA mentions LGPL 2.1, but no mention of ASL or EPL:
{quote}
1. License Grant. Subject to the following terms, Red Hat, Inc. (“Red Hat”) grants to you a perpetual, worldwide license to the Programs
(each of which may include multiple software components) pursuant to the GNU Lesser General Public License v. 2.1. With the exception of
certain image files identified in Section 2 below, each software component is governed by a license that permits you to run, copy, modify, and
redistribute (subject to certain obligations in some cases) the software component. This EULA pertains solely to the Programs and does not
limit your rights under, or grant you rights that supersede, the license terms applicable to any particular component. {quote}
