I haven't pushed this to [gitorious] yet, but I have a draft EPL compatibility provision that says:
You may Distribute a Derived Work that includes files licensed under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 ("EPL"), provided that such Distribution complies with the requirements of the EPL. The requirement stated in [Distribution: General](b) of This License shall be narrowed in scope solely to the extent necessary to facilitate this permission.
A problem with this approach, which is the only one feasible I think, is it has that unfortunate "stet license cleverness" quality to it.
Yes, but that (and definition of "work") aside, it seems reasonable. Would certainly work for MPL, I would think (though can't review it carefully enough right at this moment to be certain).
BTW the reason I didn't even think of an "MPL compatibility provision" is because MPL 2.0 and (current) copyleft-next both achieve GPLv2+/AGPLv3+ compatibility. But I wonder if there's some value in making an EPL provision (if it works out) be an "EPL or MPL" provision.
