Another option would be, to do the same with the MOXy port, but the eclipse license is also regarded as "category b", and modifying the port wouldn't count as weak copyleft [3]
As no-one opted out the support for Android, I guess that's consensus to try to support it?! When it comes to preserve the infoset - xmlbeans and jaxb [1] are the out-of-box options. Currently my candidate would be JIBX (bsd license) - either we don't need to preserve the infoset, as a newer (and complete) version of the ecma schema covers all the read xml data or it might be possible to write a custom binder [2]. On the other hand there's also not much activity - last release was 01.01.2015 ... maybe it's stable :| (... to be continued ...)
