Swordfish Internal IP Compliance Process: An Extension to the Eclipse IP Legal Process
Intro
About the Eclipse IP Legal Process
The Eclipse Legal Process guidelines provide all Swordfish team members with all the information required on the subject of IP compliance. Here are a few links on the Eclipse IP Legal Process
- This link provides you with excellent background information.
- The Eclipse IP Compliance Process in cartoon format!
There is also an audio presentation worth listening to you at: [Campbell, Legal Counsel & Manager, IP]
In addition to this, in our team we have a short process work flow that all team members can use as a frame of reference.
NOTE: This is a draft process guideline. It will be subject to review and improvement throughout the project life-cycle.
About Swordfish's Internal IP Process
Swordfish has a number of complimentary steps introduced into its project life cycle which should help to ensure IP compliance for third party components used in its project.
The Swordfish Runtime project requires more non EPL 3rd Party software components than the average Eclipse IDE Project. Hence, we have included some additional steps to ensure full compliance to the Eclipse legal requirements. As long as Swordfish is on the release train of a common Eclipse release, the Swordfish team will ensure that all 3rd’party bundles which are committed are covered by approved Eclipse Contribution Questionnaire (CQs). All the events are generally triggered by events in the Eclipse Legal Process
