chore: update license to EPL 2.0 #170
Conversation
Signed-off-by: sebthom <sebthom@users.noreply.github.com>
FTR, this PR is the continuation of this discussion: After having read https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq/#epl-relicensing, quote:
Re. this aspect:
I'm hereby, pro forma, making "every attempt to ensure that (...) there is a rough consensus amongst the committers that this is the right time to switch." by paging some past contributors to this repo @J-N-K and @rPraml and @focbenz and @maggu2810 and @ctron as well as committers @triller-telekom and @sylvainlaurent and @Bananeweizen and @wborn to shout if they have any objections to changing the license of LastNPE.org from EPL 1.0 to 2.0. Let's give it, say... 48h? Then I intend to merge, assuming no objections. |

While I'm late to the party, I hereby fully agree. I also cannot image for what reason someone would not agree to such a change. The EPL version 2 is basically identical to version 1 from my software developer eyes point of view. (I understand that this would be a different beast e.g. when changing GPL2 to GPL3) |

For open source projects (including Eclipse Foundation projects) under the EPL-1.0 who wish to re-license to the EPL-2.0 they should do so by simply updating the file headers and notices.
