The jaxb-api jar is CDDL license which is the same license as jaxb-impl, jaxb-
xjc, saaj-impl,  saaj-api, and the jsr311-api jars which we also ship and 
depend on.

THAT SAID, I believe you can use the servicemix clean room Apache Licensed 
bundle:
http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/servicemix/specs/org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxb-
api-2.1/
