"Licensing

 All contributions to the Eclipse Project must adhere to the Common 
 Public License http://www.eclipse.org/legal/cpl-v10.html. 
 Notwithstanding the above, at the discretion of the PMC, Eclipse 
 Project downloads may include separately licensed code from third 
 parties as a convenience and where permitted by the third party 
 license, provided this is clearly indicated.

 All contributions must contain the following copyright notice.

 /**********************************************************************
 Copyright (c) {date} {name of original contributor} and others.
 All rights reserved.   This program and the accompanying materials
 are made available under the terms of the Common Public License v1.0

 Contributors:

    ...
 **********************************************************************/

 The original contributor is the one who contributes the first version 
 of the file. A contributor may be a person or an organization - whoever 
 owns the copyright. If the contributor is an organization, the person 
 may also be indicated. For each additional contributor, indicate the 
 part of the code or contribution that came from the contributor, 
 especially if it contains an interesting algorithm or data table etc. 
 For clarity, also indicate the contributor in the actual section of 
 contributed code. Also reference the bugzilla bug ID if applicable. The 
 basic principle is to clearly identify the contribution... especially 
 if it is a separable block of code."

alexander.
