permission dalicc:ChangeLicense with duties [dalicc:compliantLicense]Review finding Section 3 also states: "A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that ..." followed by four compliance conditions. That is dalicc:ChangeLicense with a dalicc:compliantLicense duty, exactly as the EPL-2.0 record models section 3.1(b). Added, which also brings the two Eclipse records into line.

Version 1
The version this model had before the content review of 2026-09-15.
Every change names the reason behind it: a finding of the content review, one of its library-wide decisions, the metadata that review wrote onto every record, or a hand edit. None of it is legal advice.
Nothing on this page is legal advice. What a license means is decided by its text; ask a legal advisor before you rely on it.
