Hi,

I have a question regarding bzr-eclipse licence.
Can we change it to EPL as unfortunately EPL and GPL are not compatible?
The code under EPL should not be included in GPL software unless the
permission have been received from the owners.
On the other hand, GPL does allow you to run the plugin in Eclipse as
the libraries the plugin depends on are licensed under EPL.
The easiest way to solve the issue seems to change the licence to EPL.
