[Mondrian] Query

FYI

> In the next few days, I am going to change Mondrian's license from CPL to
> EPL. This is a move that is good for everyone, and now release 3.1 is out it
> seems to be a good time.
>
> Mondrian is distributed under the Common Public License (CPL). It's fairly
> good license, but there is a clause regarding what happens in the event of
> patent litigation, and this this flaw made some organizations nervous about
> adopting CPL code.
>
> The Eclipse Public License (EPL) is based on CPL, and in fact differs only
> in the name of the sponsoring organization (Eclipse versus IBM) and the
> removal of that clause. Everyone agrees that EPL is a better license, but we
> were too lazy to go through the license change process. A few weeks ago, EPL
> was officially made the successor to CPL, and that makes it trivial to
> upgrade.
