+1 Thanks for the update, Sam! IIUC, Geronimo makes two uses of the CDDL-licensed xsd files.1. The unmodified xsd files are available to the xml parser to avoid downloading the files from the internet during operation.
2. The unmodified xsd files are "compiled" into Java classes which are then compiled into binary form for execution.
