Hi Nicolas,

The commit you found replaces the profile files from Eclipse with a
new file which I generated independently. My understanding is that
given this file contains information that is public knowledge to the
Java community, is of a different format and uses different file
access semantics this constitutes it's own IP. As such I'm happy to
apply the ASL header on this basis. If that is acceptable then I will
push an update with this clarification, PM's please advise?

Regards,

Dave
