Description Wayne Beaton

Users should have the ability to easily see the set of licenses for the code contained in their Eclipse distribution. They do get to see licenses for things that they later add to Eclipse via p2.

The welcome screen seems like a good place to show this sort of information to the user.

A tab on the "Installation Details" dialog might be helpful as well.

This sounds like a reasonable idea. Since there are two parts to this bug report I'll create a second bug to address the tab on the Installation Details dialog. This request is probably too late for Eclipse 3.7 but we can consider it for the next release.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
