Hi commons-dev. The readme file[1] for the external files in XML Commons says that everything under java/external/src/org/w3c is licensed under the the W3C Software License, which is included in this file[2]. The DOM Level 3 Core Java interfaces are distributed with a COPYRIGHT.html file that includes an additional licensing requirements (see [3]).
It seems to me that this paragraph should be included somewhere in the license information in the commons external repository (and the generated xml-apis.jar). I haven’t checked whether any other W3C Java interfaces have been distributed with that extra clause. Thanks, Cameron [1] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/commons/trunk/java/external/README.dom.txt [2] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/commons/trunk/java/external/LICENSE.dom-software.txt [3] http://markmail.org/message/tw2ddikfiid3qjt2 -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
