[udig-devel] EPL, UDIG and Geotools license

[Paul Ramsey]

Yes, I see nothing in the EPL that prevents us from distributing our 
unmodified version of RCP along with the uDig plugins. I suppose people 
might need clarification that the RCP portion of the distribution is 
under EPL and the uDig portion is under LGPL.

The declaration of "incompatibility" seems to arise from a scenario 
where I take RCP, fork it, and try to relicense and distribute it under 
GPL. That situation they would deem in violation of EPL.
