Yes. So the EPL code extends GPL code by deriving from it in OOP terms has vanished, either because it's not physically modified (your reply), or because we could disclaim copyright interests or switch to another license on a per-project basis for the generated code (John's reply). > Ignore the allegedly "GPL incompatibility" nonsense. Well, still the EPL FAQ [1] says, that you cannot combine GPL with EPL code in one module. So the GPL license for our library itself is still an issue. We could switch to the Lesser GPL, and as far as I see, that would solve the issue.
