--------------------------------------------------
Hi Joerg,
At the time we started the Apache Directory Studio (back in 2006), I remember
one of our members asked the legal team if the EPL license was compatible with
the Apache license and AFAIR the answer was positive.
We hadn't been aware that it was only the case for the binary form only (I'm
not sure it was the case or there was such a distinction back then).
In any case, looking at the link you provided and this other page
[http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b], it's now clear that
including source file under the EPL license is not allowed.
I'm going to open another JIRA for a review and removal of any EPL source file
from Apache Directory Studio repository.
Thanks for letting us know.
Regards,
Pierre-Arnaud

> The fullscreen plugin was copied source-for-source from

> The PLUGIN_ID in the Activator also needs to be renamed if you are doing this
