Hi Jevon

That's great news and thanks for the swift response. I'll check with the legal 
folks at Eclipse, but LGPL sounds fine to me.

I looked at the project license file 
(http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/license.html) and it is still showing GPL. 
Does this need updating?

Thanks,
Glyn

Hi Glyn,

We recently switched the project licence from GPL to LGPL, which can be linked 
to, and extended by, by EPL software (I'm using JWebUnit in my EPL project 
too). I think the next release will have the appropriate license file, etc. As 
far as I know, as long as you don't modify the JWebUnit code directly (i.e. the 
content in the JARs), no license change is necessary.
