Just to clarify the situation, the OSI considers EPL 2.0 with the
revised Exhibit A to *be* EPL 2.0. EPL 2.0 is OSI-approved and the
license text has now been posted on the OSI website:
https://opensource.org/licenses/EPL-2.0

The lists
https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical
https://opensource.org/licenses/category
have also been updated (including replacement of EPL 1.0 with EPL 2.0
on the 'popular/widely-used/strong communities' list). I have put EPL
1.0 in the 'superseded' category since that's what was done with MPL
1.1.
