IP Issues All significant and third party contributions have been reviewed and approved by Eclipse legal. Piggyback CQ's for all version upgrades (e.g. OSGi RSA API), Orbit libs About files and license files are complete and correct. ECF has several other pending/under review contributions, but these are not included in ECF 3.5 11 ECF 3.6.0 Release | © 2013 by Composent, Inc. and others, made available under the EPL v1.0 11 11

ECF and Standards OSGi v5 Remote Services: In core specification OSGi v5 Remote Service Admin: In enterprise specification Both are full/complete implementation of OSGi specifications Unique: Only implementation known to support pluggable discovery and distribution providers Only impl of these specs among EF projects Unique: ECF transport independence, combined with OSGi standards impl for RS/RSA allows easy extension to arbitrary transports...e.g. REST-based (Restlet at github now), JMS (at github also), others. This allows custom/proprietary protocols and serialization to be used within fully-compliant standard impl. No need for others to reimplement RS/RSA spec independently. 12 ECF 3.6.0 Release | © 2013 by Composent, Inc. and others, made available under the EPL v1.0 12 12
