Hi Chris,

Currently, the source of Kaveri (eclipse plugin) has been released under
academic source licensing as we had done Bogor in the past.  Also, the
stock groovy scripts available with Kaveri have been released under MPL.
So far, there have been no issues.

As for open sourcing Indus, I am evaluating various open source licenses
that would allow contributors to modify Indus and, at the same time,
"release" such contributions to be integrated into Indus.  May be, I
might eventually choose a more liberal license such as BSD or MIT or
even LGPL.
