How are the parties defined in the EPL?
There are two types of parties to the EPL. They are “Contributors” and “Recipients.” Contributors include an initial Contributor, who is the person or entity that creates the initial code distributed under the EPL, and subsequent Contributors, who originate changes or additions to the code (the combination referred to as the “Program”). Any person or entity that redistributes the Program is also a Contributor. Recipients include anyone who receives the Program under the EPL, including Contributors.
