+<p>In terms of GPL compatibility, the Eclipse Public License version
+2.0 is essentially equivalent to version 1.0. The only change is that
+it explicitly offers the option of designating the GNU GPL version 2
+or later as a &ldquo;secondary license&rdquo; for a certain piece of
+code.</p>
+
+<p>If an initial contributor releases a specific piece of code and
+designates GNU GPL version 2 or later as a secondary license, that
+provides explicit compatibility with those GPL versions for that
+code. (Doing so is roughly equivalent, for users, to releasing that
+piece of code under a dual license, EPL | GPL.) However, the EPL2
+without this designation remains incompatible with the GPL.</p>
