[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=13150146#comment-13150146 ] 

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

Max, nothing in the installer code is currently *GPL* - nor was it before I changed anything in this JIRA. 

But I've reverted the stuff that was *LGPL* in *installer/src/panels/com/jboss/devstudio/core/installer/DiskSpaceCheckPanel.java* per your instructions in the PRs, and fixed the starting copyright date so it's back to 2009, when the code first appears in SVN:  https://svn.jboss.org/repos/devstudio/branches/devstudio-1.1.x/rhds-installer/src/panels/com/jboss/jbds/installer/DiskSpaceCheckPanel.java

So, now the only real change in this JIRA is in plugins/com.jboss.devstudio.core.project.examples/about.html, which now states an EPL license instead of an LGPL one. I trust since we wrote that plugin it's OK to change the license terms there, especially since there's nothing in the plugin from a source code perspective -- just a plugin.xml with some extension point being extended. If not, please let me know and I can revert that too.
