Hi Chris,
according to the Xerces' charter
(http://xerces.apache.org/charter.html, ยง 7.3) we need to ask you
some questions in order to clean up any licensing issue:
a) What is your name and employer?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (US Government).
b) Are you the author of the code being contributed?
Yes.
c) Do you have the right to grant the copyright and patent licenses
for the contribution that are set forth in the ASF v.2.0 license
(http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)?
Actually, I believe all code I develop is considered public domain and
can be included in your codebase without license concern. I can verify,
if needed.
d) Does your employer have any rights to code that you have written,
for example, through your contract for employment? If so, has your
employer given you permission to contribute the code on its behalf or
waived its rights in the code?
I believe NASA has no rights to the code.
e) Are you aware of any third-party licenses or other restrictions
(such as related patents or trademarks) that could apply to your
contribution? If so, what are they?
Nope.
