Eclipse plugins can and have been published under almost every<br>
license. The fact that it's not EPL just means it won't be officially<br>
adopted by the Eclipse foundation, even if it ever reaches the level<br>
of maturity required.<br>
If you want to see the crazy licensing at work, take a look at<br>
Subversive, the official Eclipse Subversion plugin. The plugin itself<br>
is hosted at Eclipse, but the Subversion connectors that make it<br>
actually work have to be hosted off site and installed separately<br>
because the licenses don't match.<br>
