The Eclipse Foundation's Intellectual Property Lab (IPLab)
The Eclipse Foundation's IP Team uses this repository to track the vetting of intellectual property content on behalf of Eclipse project teams.
If your project leverages build technology that pulls third-party content from well-defined software repositories (e.g., Apache Maven pulling from Maven Central, a yarn.lock
or package-lock.json
file), consider using the Eclipse Dash License Tool to automatically create IPLab issues for you.
Note that the Eclipse Dash License Tool is only capable of creating issues for content that it either discovers from your build or that you feed to it. It will not, for example, find third-party content that is buried in your code. If you've, for example, added some JavaScript library in a
lib
directory or similar, then you may have to manually create a request to vet that content and manually track your project's use of that library.
If you cannot use the Eclipse Dash License Tool, you can manually create a request:
- Create a request to vet Third-party content
- Create a request to vet Project Content
