I guess I think it's a plus that the API is a standard

hi Chris,
does this mean that a special notice (license) is required
to be included with that AXIS2 for jsr173_1.0_api.jar?
how is it about including API in downloadable tarball/zip/war
what repackaging API classes together with other in one JAR file?
that is what we consider to have for client side - just one JAR
file that has inside classes from all necessary libs so client can
have just this on classpath.
thanks,
alek

Oh, so what's in codehaus is just the BEA
implemented RI?
hi,
StAX RI code is based on XPP3 and is under Apache
License ASF v2 -
however actual StAX JSR-173 API (jsr173_1.0_api.jar)
which is @author
"Copyright (c) 2003 by BEA Systems. All Rights
Reserved." has a
different license (AFAIK) and is also in codehaus
SVN repository
(src100/ contains original version and src/ current
version with RI bug
fixes - this or slightly older version is also in
codehaus maven
repository): see
http://svn.stax.codehaus.org/trunk/dev/
this i admit is confusing and i have never
understood that part of JCP
process that resulted in this - i wish i could point
to some place that
explain it (such confusions are not good for long
term StAX future)
it would be nice if all source code had:
/* Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0
(the "License");
* you may not use this file except in compliance
with the License.
* You may obtain a copy of the License at

*/
but currently source code is a mixed bag though
majority of code is
under ASF v2 AFAIK.
if somebody can shed more light on that ...
thanks,
alek
