Eclipse Contributor Agreement 3.0

Tuesday, May 7, 2019 - 17:03 by Wayne Beaton

The Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA) is an agreement made by contributors certifying the work they are contributing was authored by them and/or they have the legal authority to contribute as open source under the terms of the project license.

The Eclipse Foundation’s IP Team has been working hard to get the various agreements that we maintain between the Eclipse Foundation and community updated. Our first milestone targeted the ECA, and we’re happy to report that a very significant number of our community members have successfully updated theirs. Today, we retired all of the rest of them. Specifically, we’ve revoked all ECAs that predate the ECA version 3.0.

We’re confident that we’ve managed to connect and update the ECA for everybody who still wants to be a contributor, so there should be no interruption for anybody who is actively contributing. If we missed you, you’ll be asked to sign the new ECA the next time you try to contribute. Or you can just re-sign it now.

We’ve made some changes with the new agreements that make contributing easier, (but explaining harder). Committers who have signed the Individual Committer Agreement (ICA) version 4.0 or work for a company that has signed the Member Committer and Contributor Agreement do not require an ECA.

Contact emo_records@eclipse.org if you’re having trouble with an agreement.
