At least for some components we'll go in that direction. But in the
case of our lib, that makes no sense. The overall project cannot work
without it; it's the underlying repository and provides all of the data
structures.
Hm, citing the EPL FAQ:
,----
| Further, you may not combine EPL and GPL code in any scenario where
| source code under those licenses are both the same source code module.
`----
I have to admit, that I don't really understand that sentence. I can
read it, that only mixing (in the sense of copy&paste) EPL code and GPL
code in one file is forbidden. I can also read it, that I may not have
a JAR-file containing GPL code bundled with an EPL project.
Well, but the FSF's statement is clear:
,----
| Based upon the position of the Free Software Foundation, you may not
| combine EPL and GPL code in any scenario where linking exists between
| code made available under those licenses. The above applies to both
| GPL version 2 and GPL version 3.

Bye,
