Michelle Caisse commented on DERBY-1992:
----------------------------------------

Unfortunately, I've hit a dead end on this issue due to licensing problems. 
Upgrading to DITA-OT 1.4.1 would not provide indexes because (1) indexes are 
not available for XHTML docs and (2) the PDF index generation depends on 
software that, though it has a free personal license, that license is not 
consistent with use within Apache (or any other organization, for that matter.) 
(Andrew mentioned this problem in email to derby-dev on 16 Nov 07.) 

Laura raised the issue of indexing support on the DITA Help forum 
(http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4127959) and by my reading of 
the response, getting a solution with a reasonable license doesn't look 
promising.

DITA 1.4.1 does come with an Apache license. There is no longer a separate 
download for an Apache licensed toolkit. I haven't yet succeeded in creating 
pdf with 1.4.1. If there is any reason to upgrade given that we will not get 
indexes, I can pursue this.

> Upgrade to DITA Open Toolkit version 1.3
