    The license on this project is a little vague. I want to contribute on it but before that I want to make sure its under a license my company I work for can use it in needed.

    So do you allow for the use of this plug-in in commercial products?

      It's CPL, just like the rest of Eclipse.

      What's the issue?

      I think the issue is that it doesn't state anywhere what the license is nor does it seem to come with the 0.0.4 build.  The sourceforge description is "Public Domain", but there are copyright notices in the code.  These are two mutually exclusive concepts in copyright law.  Either it's copyrighted or it's public domain.

      It would be helpful if you could:

      a) change the Sourceforge license description to "CPL" if that's what it is.
      b) include a notice with your downloads that all copyrighted material in the bundle is licensed to recipient under the CPL.
