Exactly! I do realize that I was being quite shameless in that regard.

    I can assure you that the Eclipse Foundation alone has more than a
    handful of projects. (Over 350 actually.)  Then there are the
    entire Clojure and OpenDaylight communities, along with JUnit,
    Mondrian, etc.


Yes, I worded that badly.  I meant that there are only a handful of well-known EPL-licensed projects *outside the Eclipse Foundation*, which is definitely not the case for Apache-licensed projects outside the Apache Foundation.  Wikipedia lists only four beyond the four you mentioned: ksh, graphviz, Jikes, and UWIN.

There are obviously more than that, but I am certainly not going to argue that the EPL has the adoption of the Apache License.

But until or unless the OSI changes its criteria, I will continue to assert that the EPL is supported by a strong community.
