Why was the Eclipse Public License chosen ? This license is not compatible with the GPL[1], so no GPL licensed app can make use of this code :-( For example it makes it impossible to use this code to assist in supporting OVF in virt-manager, virt-install or virt-image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_Public_License "The EPL 1.0 is not compatible with the GPL, and a work created by combining a work licensed under the GPL with a work licensed under the EPL cannot be lawfully distributed."
