Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-536:
-------------------------------------

before I write to legal-discuss, let's explore one other thing.  Suppose these 
3 files "configure" the RCP building process, but don't get incorporated into 
the resulting thing that is built.  

Then we *could* have an approach where we don't distribute these files, but 
instead treat them as part of our "build" process.  We could even exclude them 
from the "src" distribution - and say people who want to "build" have to get 
things from our SVN.

Do we have another issue, though, on top of this?  I'm thinking (I haven't 
looked into it yet..) that the Eclipse "build" process essentially takes your 
software modules, these config files, and *some Eclipse boilerplate code* and 
creates a set of executables, for various platforms.  These executables contain 
copies of Eclipse boilerplate code - is that correct?  So if we distribute 
this, we're distributing a package which combines code from Eclipse with our 
stuff - is this right?

Thanks for clarifying...
