What is the “EPL”?

EPL is an abbreviation for the Eclipse public license, created by the Eclipse Foundation. The Eclipse public license is OSI-approved and is considered to have weak copyleft provisions. Any changes and certain additions to EPL-licensed code need to be licensed on under the EPL. We believe the EPL is a good choice for the Symbian Foundation because it balances our goals of encouraging development of the Symbian platform, builds a contributor community and encourages vigorous commercial competition through innovation on top of the platform. Further information about the EPL can be found in an FAQ on the Eclipse Foundation website.
