[DRMAA-WG] DRMAA Java binding implementations : are there license constraints?

[erwindl0]

Dear DRMAA community,

In the past I have bundled the DRMAA v1 Java binding API and the 
implementation for SGE as OSGi bundles, in the context of a pilot for 
the DAWN project (http://www.dawnsci.org/). ( For those interested, you 
can find the sources at https://github.com/DawnScience/dawn-hpc )

I would now like to migrate that work (+ a SLURM Java implementation 
we're finalizing) in an official eclipse project, Triquetrum 
(https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.triquetrum). In the 
future my goal would be to do the same for the DRMAA v2.

As you probably know, Eclipse has rather strict open-source licensing 
and IP rules.

The API implementation I used before came with Son of Grid Engine, and 
still has the SISSL license headers, for which I am certain they will 
not be accepted by the Eclipse Foundation. I noticed that e.g. Gridway 
has its own org.ggf.drmaa sources with their own copyright and an Apache 
license.

I couldn't find any concrete info/requirements about licensing of the 
DRMAA Java APIs in your documents or on your site.

Do you have specific rules? Or can I just write&provide the API code 
myself and deliver that with an EPL license?

many thanks for the standardization work,
