Any chance to release under Apache-2.0 ???

Icepick is released under EPL-1.0. According to our legal department, this means that any Android project which uses Icepick needs to be open sourced as well. :-(

Reason: In general Android projects "statically link" their dependencies (like Icepick). In the compiled APK these dependencies are therefore no more identifiable as "separate modules" which in turn enforces you to open source the code that uses the EPL-1.0 project (e.g. Icepick) even if it has not been modified at all but just been used as intended by the author.

Is this correct?
Is Icepick using EPL-1.0 intentionally (e.g. for the above reason)?

Is there any chance to release under Apache-2.0 instead of EPL-1.0 ???

Thank you!
