[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-107) Usage of the Eclipse Ditsribution License (EDL)

["Robert Burrell Donkin (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13147991#comment-13147991 ] 

Robert Burrell Donkin commented on LEGAL-107:
---------------------------------------------

My reading is that this licensing has been derived from BSD-3-Clause by simple parameter substitution.

I recommend assigning this to category A (similar to AL2.0)[2]
