Please inform yourself about the legal terms of the EPL-2.0 and what a
"Secondary License" means in this regard. One of the reasons to move to
version 2.0 is to allow recipients of the EPL-2.0 to choose the
Secondary License to make their programs compatible with the GPL-2(+).
They are explicitly allowed to change the license to the Secondary
License. It is depressing when people file RC bugs about licenses
without even reading the license terms!
