But can we add ASL headers to files which are defined and considered to be, even structure wise (please correct me if I am wrong), under the license of Eclipse ? I really don't know I am also just raising a question here DETAILS: My concern here comes from information I learned when I was working in a big company (not mentioning names here) and they had their own development tools which are totally built based on Eclipse. And IIRC even the files generated from these tools, also XML files and such, were opt to some license some how.
