[Pydev-code] EPL headers for IFS sources

[Andrew F. <afe...@re...>]

Hi Fabio,

I'm in the process of adding missing Eclipse Public License headers to PyDev source files (excluding Jython). I was told that the refactoring code you acquired from the Institute for Software is under the Eclipse Public License. If this is indeed the case, is it acceptable for me to add a standard EPL header to those files (the same kind of header I've been adding to other source files), on top of the copyright information they already have? Or is there some other kind of licensing info that has to be put in these files?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Adding the EPL header to those licenses is OK (just the copyright should
still be kept for IFS).

Best Regards,

Fabio

Hi Fabio,

Thanks for the quick reply. As we're on topic, I have one more question about licenses. The standard EPL header has only one name on its first line (for example, "Copyright (C) 2007  Fabio Zadrozny"), but most (and likely all) of the IFS files have more than one author listed in their copyright headers. Also, the Git history of these files doesn't provide any information on any single original author.

So when I add EPL headers to these files, who should I attribute the copyright on the first line to? I've narrowed it down to these choices:
1) the names of every original author
2) just the file's first listed author
3) "IFS Institute for Software"

In any case, I'll be including all of the authors in the list of contributors.

I think that in this case it may make sense to put IFS in the first line.
