So we generated our iplog in XML, using code I wrote in JGit to mine the Git revision history. Someone told the legal team at the Eclipse Foundation that you can’t edit a PDF, so they “freeze” the iplog by putting its contents in PDF. But they don’t have an XSL to format it in human readable text, so we get this instead.
