Description

Another Apache fellow (Joerg Schaible) on issue DIRSTUDIO-810 has just made us aware of the fact there was a distinction on the compatibility with the Eclipse Public License (EPL) v 1.0.

While it is allowed to include an Eclipse Public License (EPL) v 1.0 component as a binary file, it is NOT allowed to have source files under Eclipse Public License (EPL) v 1.0.

This is confirmed by the following links:

• https://cwiki.apache.org/OOOUSERS/ip-plan-for-apache-openoffice.html
• http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b

We need to review which file of Apache Directory Studio are subject to this and remove them or replace them by another implementation, in order to be compliant.
