This tracker is for issues related to:

  • vm_service's license

Issue :
Most of the source files in vm_service are EPL-1.0.
Therefore, it is suggested to add the License text of EPL-1.0 to the LICENSE file in vm_service.

I'm not sure I understand. As far as I know, we're using the standard BSD 3-Clause license that allows for free modification and distribution of the source. This license has very few restrictions, so I'm not sure what benefit (or complications) there is associated with attaching a more restrictive license like EPL 1.0.

I'm going to close this issue since I don't think this is something we'll want to do.

Ah, I didn't realize all of the generated Java files were using EPL 1.0. Sorry about that!

@devoncarew @jacob314, I've never really touched the Java generation code here, so I was unaware that we were using EPL in those files. Do you happen to know why we're using that license here instead of the standard BSD 3-Clause?
