Hi Patrick.

Using readthedocs.io to deploy your documentation is fine. This would be
considered an external resource
<https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#resources-external>; there's
some more about them in the handbook. No formal permission is required, but
there are some branding and level playing field requirements.

I'm pretty sure that you're doing this already, but will take the
opportunity to reinforce that the sources for the documentation are project
content (i.e., they must be stored in a Git repo that is managed by the
Eclipse Foundation on behalf of the project).

Regarding the copyright headers, there are two options outlined in the
handbook <https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#ip-copyright-headers> (and
repeated by the documentation generator
<https://www.eclipse.org/projects/tools/documentation.php?id=iot.cyclonedds>
).

   - Copyright (c) {year} {owner}[ and others]; or
   - Copyright (c) {date} Contributors to the Eclipse Foundation


HTH,

Wayne
