Hi,
I believe they're covered by Sun's intellectual property grant for the

The grant paperwork should be available electronically in the
Foundation repository.  I'll try to look for the exact place.

Normally, the deployment descriptors are part of the specification document, so are part of the specification like the javadocs, and we can use them. At least that's my understanding.

Well, that's certainly the way it <ought> to be, IMO. However, the xsd's (e.g. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/java/ javax/servlet/resources/j2ee_1_4.xsd) are copyrighted by Sun and distribution is explicitly disallowed without authorization by Sun...

None of this is mentioned in your license or notice files, either, which would be helpful...

BTW, I see the Eclipse JDT compiler is included in your distribution. It's mentioned in your notice, but the license should be included, also.
