Description Wayne Beaton CLA 2017-09-06 10:23:11 EDT 
We need to make sure that EPL-2.0 appears as an option for new GitHub projects.

I believe that the correct approach is to just issue a pull request against https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com

I'll take ownership of this.
Comment 1 Benoit Maggi CLA 2017-09-06 10:36:38 EDT 
I think that https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com is the repo for https://choosealicense.com/ that is for helping newcomer to chose a licence 

You can probably do a pull request on this repo to change  a recommendation from EPLv1 to EPLv2

But my suggestion was to have EPLv2 as option when creating a new github repo. The option is present after README initialization. 

As far as I know there is no tracker nor repo to achieve that, an email should be send to support@github.com
