It came to my attention earlier this week that the Eclipse Foundation
had begun public discussion of the drafting of a new version of the EPL.
So far little has been said on the relevant mailing list:
https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/epl-discuss
This caught my attention though:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epl-discuss/msg00013.html as it
relates closely to the 'rule vs standard' issue that in the past was
discussed here.
The suggestion made by Jim Wright is interesting as at a high level it
bears some relationship to what I have been thinking about lately for
copyleft-next. It starts out with MPL-style copyleft as a conceptual
basis and tries to define something more extensive, but (unlike EPL
1.0) attempts to do so by articulating something bright line instead
of relying on some legal notion of derivative works.
