Hello incubation mailing list,

We are in the process of providing a new set of modules from our internal
project to the Eclipse IP review for putting them public.

In particular, we use an old version of a GPL library, i.e., nrjavaserial.
For our own purpose and to integrate it in our project, we retrieved the
source code of this 3rd party library and started to modify it. At some
point, we asked ourself if the newly provided library is still under GPL
because a major part of the code as been re-writed (even if we don't know
the delta between the old one and the new one).

My question is: is this new library still under GPL despite major
modifications or can we say that this is a new library that can be pushed
under Eclipse license ? At which point a modified library can be considered
as new and independent from the initial library?

I think I already know the answer but I wanted to ask anyway. Just to be
sure.

Thanks,

Best regards.
