 Refer to the aelfred license, and the sentence stating: "You are free

Are there any changes?  If there are, dom4j is in violation as well as 
GNU JAXP.  If there are no changes, then dom4j may just import the 
original non-GPL sources, and there are no violations.

Viewing the cvsweb for GNU JAXP, it seems that there are some changes.
We have made significant changes to the Ælfred codebase, in order to 
improve both performance and conformance to the SAX specification. 
These changes are documented in the file ChangeLog.gnujaxp in the GNU 
JAXP distribution. Do you feel that they should be documented elsewhere 
too?
