Hi,

   I see that Axis2C has following dependencies

libxml2.dll [http://www.xmlsoft.org - download the version >=

   libxml2-2.6.27.win32] (optional - required only if you are
not using Guththila parser)iconv.dll [
http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ - download the

   version >= iconv-1.9.1.win32]zlib1.dll [
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ - download the version >=

   zlib-1.2.3.win32]libxslt.dll [http://www.xmlsoft.org -
download the version >= libxslt-1.1.24.win32
]http://ws.apache.org/axis2/c/docs/installationguide.html#win_binary

These dependencies are not comming directly with Axis2C binaries
but only links to download are provided in the documentation.

iconv is from www.gnu.org .

So my questions is how are these dependencies licensed and how
compatible is Apache2 license of Axis with these dependencies
licenses? 



Axis2/C team do not license the dependencies, rather we use them. The 
dependent libraries will have their own licenses. Weather these licenses 
are compatible or not with Apache matters only if we redistribute.



Why these are not comming bundled in Axis2C binaries and only
links to download are provided?



We do not bundle, because there can be compatibility issues.

On how to drop these dependencies and be only on Apache 2.0 licence 
based dependencies see my earlier reply.

If you have any concerns on any of the dependencies, there is a way to 
get away as well.


libxml2 and iconv dependency can be dropped by using Guththila parser, 
which is the built in pull parser of Apache Axis2/C.
zlib dependency is optional, meaning if you chose not to use zip 
archives as services then you can build without that support.


So if you use Guthtila parser and disable zip archives for services, 
then there are no worries on licensing as all the rest are under Apache 2.0.


Thanks,

First of all I'm not a licensing expert :), Please correct me If I'm 
wrong. I think licenses of softwares you mentioned above is not 
compatible with Apache Axis2/C licensing (Apache 2.0), Therefore I 
think we could not bundled them with Axis2/C. However I think it is 
upto user to download them and use. I also having questions regarding 
licensing , I'm glad you ask this question.


thanks,
Dinesh
