<https://www.eclipse.org/legal/logo_guidelines.php> says this: | Unless otherwise agreed to in advance in writing (which may be in | email form) by Eclipse, the following restrictions apply: | […] | 3. Nobody other than Eclipse open source projects may develop or | maintain software packages that use 'org.eclipse' in their | namespace. An important use of the 'Eclipse' Trademark is the | 'org.eclipse' string used on all namespaces for Eclipse open source | projects. This naming convention is used to identify code that has | been developed as part of an Eclipse open source project. Doesn't this make software that uses classes in the org.eclipse.* non-free because changes (for software maintenance or otherwise) are not allowed? Other namespaces are affected as well: | Use of the 'jakarta', 'ee.jakarta', or 'org.jakarta' namespaces is not | permitted unless authorized in advance in writing by Eclipse. (But I don't think this concerns anything shipped by Fedora.) | Use of the 'org.locationtech' or 'org.polarsys' namespaces is not | permitted unless authorized in advance in writing by Eclipse. The org.locationtech restriction impacts the jts and spatial4j source RPMs. Thanks, Florian _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to legal-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
