The Eclipse IoT working group is launching a campaign to identify the adopters of Eclipse IoT open source projects. Companies — whether or not they are working group members — can be listed as adopters.

Adopters are organizations that voluntarily show their support for the Eclipse IoT projects they have adopted (i.e. shipping commercial products based on the projects and/or using the projects for non-commercial or internal reasons).

Eclipse IP Policy: Reviewing Third Party Content

Wednesday, November 13, 2019 - 16:33 by Wayne Beaton

I’ll start this discussion with some background…

Under the original Eclipse Foundation Intellectual Property (IP) Policy, every bit of third party content needed to be thoroughly reviewed before it could be used by an Eclipse project. And the reviews were thorough: license scan, provenance check, scan for anomalies, … Reviews of third party content literally took days, weeks, and months. All of that review needed to be complete before the project team could commit any code that made any reference to that third party content.
