Insuring Your Contributions Are Legal
Before any code can be committed to Eclipse, it is absolutely imperative that:
- Its Intellectual Property (IP) be properly credited
- That due diligence is performed to confirm that all code submitted is EPL compliant with Eclipse-approved open source licenses
- That it contains all required legal documentation within the code itself
Here are some links to what you need to know about the IP process and its requirements:
- Eclipse Legal Resources Page
- Eclipse Legal Process Flowcharts1
- Committer Due Diligence Guidelines1
- A Guide to the Legal Documentation for Eclipse-Based Content1
- Eclipse Foundation Intellectual Property Policy1
IPzilla! A way to track the status of your Contribution Questionaires
Although several of the above links1 are embedded within the Eclipse Legal Resources Page and its own links, they are important and helpful enough that shortcuts are provided here to make them easier for you to find when you need to refer to them.
