Please consider relicensing AST under the EPL-2.0 with the GPL compatibility clause #1493

Hello,

I was wondering if you would please consider upgrading the Eclipse Public License from version 1.0 to 2.0, along with the new (optional) GPL compatibility clause of the latter. Some projects that depend upon or embed the Korn Shell, such as the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), have been released under GPL-compatible licenses, and explicit permission from AT&T to combine these works would greatly reduce uncertainty.

Thank you so much for releasing the AST as open source and your consideration.

Kind regards, Lev
