As per the Eclipse IP Policy, these steps must be done:
The project leadership verifies that:
... that the about files and use licenses are in place as per the Guidelines to Legal Documentation.
... all contributions (code, documentation, images, etc) has been committed by individuals who are either Members of the Foundation, or have signed the appropriate Committer Agreement. In either case, these are individuals who have signed, and are abiding by, the Eclipse IP Policy. (see below)
... that all significant contributions have been reviewed by the Foundation's legal staff. (see below)
... that all non-committer code contributions, including third-party libraries, have been documented in the release and reviewed by the Foundation's legal staff (see below)
... that all contribution questionnaires have been completed (see below)
... the "provider" field of each plug-in is set to "eclipse.org"
... the "copyright" field of each plug-in is set to the copyright owner.
... that any third-party logos or trademarks included in the distribution (icons, help file logos, etc) have been licensed under the EPL.
... that any fonts or similar third-party images included in the distribution (e.g. in PDF or EPS files) have been licensed under the EPL.
The PMC provides a Project Log that enumerates:
every piece of third party software including information on the license
every major contribution
the name of every contributor including non-committer contributions via bug fixes with bug #'s
the About files which contain any non-standard terms (e.g., a reference to a license other than the EPL, etc)
The EMO will validate for (a) and (b) that contribution questionnaires have been properly submitted and EMO approvals have been completed.
A frozen copy of the reviewed-and-approved-by-Eclipse-legal Project Log is part of the Release Review documentation. It can be included in the slides or as a separate document.
