[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3557) JBDS Installer should be EPL licensed

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3557?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13149051#comment-13149051 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3557:
----------------------------------

@max, I'm just basing my questions on the initial problem statement, which reads, "For the Developer Platform to be able to bundle JBDS, it needs to be licensed as ASLv2 or EPL and not GPL"

So, if the issue is that we need to stop using *GPL*, but that LGPL, ASL, and EPL are OK, then my PRs should be all we need to do for the installer. 

* https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/pull/356
* https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/pull/357

I would also fix the licenses on central/plugins/org.jboss.tools.central.themes, since GPL is not allowed.

Re: EULA, I just thought since we're trying to show the license of the installer is primarily EPL, maybe we should update that text to mention EPL rather than LGPLv2.1. But if there's no need, then there's no need.
