Eclipse: The Subprime Of Open Source?
In some sense, the Eclipse Public License (EPL) is a “mortgage-free” license in that one is allowed to add components and market them in an open-source or closed-source way. You can take and never give back. The EPL allows open-source software loans to default since one can add components on top of Eclipse and market them in an opaque and restricted fashion. This creates the potential for a software subprime crisis: One can borrow and never pay back.
