[Avr-eclipse-user] Licensing of Eclipse AVR

[Chris <cba...@gm...>]

Hello,

I recently requested that the Eclipse AVR Plug-in be packaged and
included in Debian [1]. However it was brought to my attention that
Eclipse is licensed under the EPL, and this is incompatible with the
GPL, this incomparability according to wikipedia makes combined works
unlawful to distribute [2].

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Chris
