Shouldn't be anything to worry about here Mike - EPL 1.0 has been on the B
list since Cliff's original and was migrated over happily to resolved.html.
That JIRA issue ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-218 ) was
because the page says 'EPL 1.0' and the OP was searching, I suspect, for
'Eclipse'.

Nothing's changed EPL+policy wise from Cliff's work :)
