------=_Part_18859_586400877.1447953516024 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello Subclipse, According to the website, Subclipse is licensed under the Eclipse-1.0 licen= se. However, each download silently includes SVNKit, which is licensed under ei= ther the TMate open source license or a 6,000 EUR commercial license, neith= er of which is compatible with the Eclipse license. Eclipse appears to agree with regards to the incompatibility, see www.eclip= se.org/proposals/svn<http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/svn>, section "Histor= y", paragraph 3. A key problem is the following phrase in the TMate license: Redistributions= in any form must be accompanied by information on how to obtain complete s= ource code for the software that uses SVNKit and any accompanying software = that uses the software that uses SVNKit. Hence: - If Subclipse uses SVNKit based on the TMate license, the source = code for the full application (the application that Subclipse is incorporat= ed into) must be distributed - If Subclipse uses SVNKit based on the SVNKit commercial license,= 6,000 EUR is required for that use The favor of a reply is appreciated - we are currently forbidden from using= Subclipse based on the apparent license incompatibility.
