HI Wayne, Thank you for your answer. I didn't include EPL, because I already know, that it will not choosen by the owner of the project, but of course, I agree it would be the best way for us. In our case, we are working with C++ and we use an external C++ library, so it will not be a .jar.

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.

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) 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.
