Attached is the license.
If I understand section 1 in general and section 1 - c) (since we do have team edition license) specifically, it looks to me that the "team" in this case are the committers at xml-security, not the xml-security community as a whole.
Comments please.

Are you sure the Clover License allows the distribution of the jar like
this? I'm going to remove it anyway. We can put it back if it is Ok to do
so.
Very good point Axl :)
I actually pretty much assumed it was ok.. as you can a) download the jar for free from their website, b) they distribute a jar through ibiblio, c) it has XML-Security project written all over it and d) how else are you going to do open-source development if you can't share it with developers who might not be committers :)
But I am not entirely sure.. Did you get a license with the jar? I have been trying to look it up, but to no avail.
Thanks for watching my legal back there Axl ;-)
