Well, Eclipse is in Debian which is licensed under EPL (a renamed CPL)
and it is in main and not non-free.

There were some discussions about the CPL on debian-legal@ mailing list.
In a 5 second google search I found this:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2001/12/msg00141.html

There is a wiki page about the DFSG compatibale and incompatible at
http://wiki.debian.org/?DFSGLicenses

Not much information. I know. But further google searching should give
you a more satisfying answer. If still in doubt please mail
debian-legal@ mailing list.

Cheers,
Michael
