EPL is certainly our preference for dual licensing; I'm curious to know
why it's not included on the list of potential selections.
The preferred means of distributing a third-party library in an OSGi
context is to turn the JAR into a standalone bundle that can be
independently managed, and easily leveraged and shared by multiple
consumers. The Orbit project mailing list (orbit-dev) is a good place to
find advice on this topic. You might also be able to get some help from
the EBR project; EBR provides templates and tools for creating bundles
from third-party libraries.
If there are technical limitations that make it impossible for the
library to be a standalone bundle, embedding a third-party JAR is
technically possible.
Note that the Eclipse Planning Council adds some restrictions in this
area for projects that participate in the simultaneous releases.

Hello everybody,
I’m working with a C++ library using the GPL license. The owner
of the project seems agree to change its license (or dual licensing
its project) which a license allowed by Eclipse :
•Apache Software License 1.1
•Apache Software License 2.0
•W3C Software License
•Common Public License Version 1.0
•IBM Public License 1.0
•Mozilla Public License Version 1.1
•Common Development and Distribution
License (CDDL) Version 1.0
•GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.3
•BSD
•MIT
(found on page 2 of this document :
https://eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf
<https://eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf>)
So, I would like to know if I can embed the library as binaries into a
plugin if the license is allowed by Eclipse ?
In addition, do you know if dual licensing is OK (GPL and an others
license ? )
I know in some case we could push used libraries into the Orbit
project, but I would like to avoid this way.
Regards,
