Question

Can I license a program under Apache License 2.0, if it is using/including EclipseLink? (EclipseLink under Eclipse Public License or Eclipse Distribution License)

I did not change anything in EclipseLink. I would realy like to distribute a Version that includes the needed EclipseLink jars, so that it is working "out of the box".

Answer 1

I had the same problem at some point and what I do is to distribute the build configuration i.e. the Maven pom.xml. This way you distribute the source to something that will pull Eclipselink but not package or hardwire it within. Then the users are then bound to both licenses. In my case the users are also free to stay at Hibernate or simply JPA.
