And all independend commiters will be on that map too. <br /><br />My blog is meant to launch the idea of getting more economy into Eclipse. It is not a finished plan and ofcourse, before such a map is launched from Eclipse a lot of water will have run under the bridge. <br /><br />About the legal stuff: Thanks, I will contact Sharon.<br /><br />About the tool: Great did you give it a spin already?wimjongmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771216547823629599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740251930569090138.post-54816071500014109572009-05-30T08:05:37.623+02:002009-05-30T08:05:37.623+02:00Reading further in your blog, I realize that you p...Reading further in your blog, I realize that you plan to support the paying members of Eclipse ("Eclipse services in your region").<br />I assume you are referring to "pay" as " pay money". Kudos to all those that pay money!<br /><br />But what about all those individuals who pay with their personal time, no matter what their business case of that might be?<br /><br />In fact I see it differently: Eclipse is what it is today almost only due to the work that has been done by committers and contributors. IMHO paying money is just a minor compensation for not being involved (of course I do understand that the work of the staff is also important and must be paid).<br /><br />I wonder how much money I'd have paid for my membership as an individual committer if I sum up all these hours of the last five years and apply my usual consulting rate ;-)Eike Stepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095163031047060582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740251930569090138.post-18127268906337098822009-05-30T07:48:21.029+02:002009-05-30T07:48:21.029+02:00Apologies!!!

She's really helpful and I'm sure she can tell you whether it's allowed to offer direct downloads of non-EPL stuff through an eclipse.org web page.<br /><br />By the way, as I interpret all this legal stuff, I do not think that you lose any of your copyrights just by applying the EPL to your code.<br /><br />Cheers<br />/EikeEike Stepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095163031047060582noreply@blogger.com
