Current license is unique for Eclipse community,
however it is not serious Enterprise ready.

The WTF license is more or less like the MIT license, just with less text. But if you take offense in the the WTFL I can switch to MIT. Would that suit you?

I must admit, "serious Enterprise ready" made me chuckle a bit. ;-)

I am OK with any, and a little bit sad for WTFL to go.

The reason is that startexplorer was included into http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/maven and http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/gradle a month ago. Those plugins where named Maven and Gradle, but then I was contacted by Marketplace support asking to change names. Some people were likely installing them without reading description expecting them to be full m2e or Gradle IDE.
And once startexplorer was added, I guess some users were shocked to get WTF license :)

Maybe renaming title to "WTF" abbreviation would be enough, as most people do not really read licenses.

License changed to MIT with release 1.6.0.

Bye bye WTFL :'(
