Sravan,
If "we" really want to change the license that is currently used by
literally 1000s of features/products, we should change it in the central
license feature first and hope (which is a rather pointless hope) that
all projects rebuild to use the new version and all of them contribute
that to SimRel (which seems unlikely to me given this was not
accomplished in the last 3 months). We'll also need to hope that all
copies everywhere (EPP products, for example) are also changed (yet
again). Then we should expect all users to re-review the new text
because they will be forced to do so. The not-so-impressed user user
can then agree yet again to what is effectively the same license.
To me this all smacks of completely gratuitous work for dozens or
hundreds of people with absolutely zero value because browsers switch to
https automatically when visiting a web link and even if not, any
concerned user can make sure they view links using https if they're
concerned that they might be presented with a bogus/hacked bit of legal
documentation.
In the end, it's really a very inappropriate plan for the platform to
make this decision for everyone without consulting anyone. After all,
it's a legal document so is it really your role to decide to alter it?
Moreover, should we not question whether the date needs to be changed
given this is no longer the "November 22, 2017" version of this legal
document?
Regards,
Ed

In my opinion, we should move towards https instead of depending on
http->https redirection made available by webmaster. We should plan to
move to https in this release.
For M1 I suggest to revert the change. But for M3 we should move to https.

Noopur,
Please, please revert the changes made to do http -> https conversion
in the license text of all the *.product files that was done in this
Bugzilla:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=558773
We're back to having bogus license variants yet again:

*Please do not *drop a build that is in this state into SimRel 2020-03
for M1.

Hi all,
As mentioned in the reminders e-mail:
*After Monday 18:00 ET, no feature work or unrelated fixes are
allowed -- only regression fixes.*
Please avoid releasing patches that are not important for that
milestone after Monday, 18:00 ET.
For example, here's the git log of the changes that went in
after I20200106-1805 and some of these could have been avoided:

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [platform-releng-dev] 4.15 M1 milestone
week reminders
Date: Fri, Jan 3, 2020 9:50 AM
Hi all,
Next week is the milestone week for *4.15 M1*.
*Monday*: Last day of development (and even then, no "big
changes"). After Monday 18:00 ET, no feature work or unrelated
fixes are allowed -- only regression fixes.
*Tuesday*: All-day test pass. Nobody should develop or fix
anything. Literally spend the entire day testing.
*Wednesday*: Fix day with a focus on fixing regressions found
during the test day (Tuesday). No unrelated fixes. Review and
thoroughly test all commits.
- The last Wednesday build is the release candidate *every
team signs off on Thursday*.
- The "*New and Noteworthy*" entries are /due on Wednesday
evening/:
Git repo:
ssh://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news.git
Gerrit:
ssh://git.eclipse.org:29418/www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news.git
Live website: https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.15/
*Thursday*: Sign-off after re-testing, or at least confirming
no changes have been made to your component's code since the
last time the component was tested well.
*Friday*: Build is officially declared and made available.
- The master branch stays closed until the milestone is
officially released. (That is, it is not enough that your
component has signed off.)
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year 2020!
Thanks & Regards,
Noopur
