When one follows a dependency graph all the way to the bottom, the entire runtime environment including virtual machines and the operating system are included in the transitive closure of dependencies. Clearly, having the IP team review virtual machines and operating systems is not a great use of time, and--in the case of closed source operating systems--just not be possible.

The Eclipse IP Team does not review the source code associated with an Exempt Prerequisite.
One of the key aspects of an Exempt Prerequisite is that the user or adopter is typically the one that actually installs the software and so is the one who must agree to the licensing terms. Content that is declared an Exempt Prerequisite should never be directly distributed by an Eclipse project or otherwise made available without some explicit action from the consumer.

If an existing CQ cannot be found, a new one must be created. Once created, the source code for the third party content must be attached to the record by the committer. The PMC must then approve the record. If the project is eligible to leverage the <<ip-parallel-ip,Parallel IP Process>>, the IP Team performs a cursory review of the record and--if the CQ meets with the requirements--tentatively approves the use of the content while the full review is undertaken in _parallel_.

There is some risk associated with the Parallel IP Process. The IP Team will grant preliminary approval based on a cursory review of the contribution; but during their full review, they may uncover issues that require mitigation. This may require, for example, that some parts of a contribution be removed completely (history and all) from a source code repository.

-Do we really need to do this? ::
-Yes.
-
Can third party content be included in an Eclipse project's source code repository? ::
Yes. Third party content can be included in binary form (e.g. source and binary JAR files) in a project's source code repository if that makes technical sense for the project.
+Can we include third party source code in an Eclipse project's source code repository? ::

Forked source code that is included in a project's source code repository should be treated as third party content with a separate CQ.
+
Can my release use unreleased content from another Eclipse open source project? ::
No. A release may only use released content from other projects. A project may disseminate milestone builds that include unreleased content, but the upstream content must be released before a downstream project can include the content in their own release.
@@ -445,7 +440,7 @@ Are project websites subject to the IP Due Diligence Process? ::
Website content is separate from project code. Project teams are expected to respect licenses for all web site content, but are not required to submit website content (including third party libraries) for review by the IP Team.
Can project code be license certified by the _Type A_ due diligence process? ::
-No. Only third party <<ip-third-party-prereq,Prerequisites>> can be _license certified_. Project code is is reviewed using a process that is similar to that employed for _Type B Prerequisite_ content.
+No. Only third party <<ip-third-party-prereq,Prerequisites>> can be _license certified_. Project code is reviewed using a process that is similar to that employed for _Type B Prerequisite_ content.
