If you can get Larry to sign off on:

1) We going to keep modifying the source as necessary
2) It's EPL and it should be that way because that's where we got it from
3) And we might want to release it

I'm not going to discuss this ad nauseum because I believe Larry would say technically it's going to be a violation of the license even though no one cares or will prosecute us. But what's the point if we don't adhere to some semblance of order.

If you want to do the work and Larry says cool. That's cool with me and we can move it over.

The performance framework is EPL, which is not an authorized license according to our documentation.

You mean org.eclipse.test.performance here?

We are likely to make some modifications, if we haven't already, and so it's easier not to put it here. If we made anything more then minimal changes we have to back it out.

You mean http://svn.sonatype.org/m2eclipse/sandbox/trunk/maven-performance-tests/org.eclipse.test.performance.patch here? Everything else in http://svn.sonatype.org/m2eclipse/sandbox/trunk/maven-performance-tests/ is under ALv2?

If that is the case, can't we commit the patch & EPL'd binary to the SVN repo here (or put the binary in a Maven repository), and submit the patches upstream in the hope that we only need to use the official Eclipse binary down the track?

This shouldn't be a problem in general - we aren't checking in any EPL sources. And further, we aren't intending to redistribute the performance framework as a release anyway.

Cheers,
Brett
