Here's a report on the licensing status of files in the xml-commons project repository currently. If anyone has any questions about this topic, please raise them now; this is also notice for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] of what the xml-commons project has done to ensure clear license for all our files.
Jar or other executable files: none checked in to our repository. Source files: given the nature of the xml-commons project, the various sources within the project are licensed in several different ways. In particular, the DOM and SAX sources are non-ASF code under what I believe to be ASF-friendly licenses. This is clearly explained in a number of files in our repository, including: xml-commons/README.html xml-commons/README.txt xml-commons/LICENSE.txt xml-commons/java/external/README.dom.txt xml-commons/java/external/LICENSE.dom-software.txt xml-commons/java/external/LICENSE.dom-documentation.txt xml-commons/java/external/README.sax.txt xml-commons/java/external/LICENSE.sax.txt Each of these files is in an obvious place in the repository and will be in any future distributions, and the top-level README.txt links specifically to the other licenses. All other code in the xml-commons repository is ASF code from a variety of different contributors, including the whole xml-commons/java/src tree as well as the xml-commons/java/external/src/javax/ tree as noted by edwingo below: - Shane __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
