Yes, my understanding is we have no legal obstacles when incorporating a BSD library into Mapbuilder's LGPL codebase. So you can focus on the technical: * What is the download size of the library, can the size be limited to the browsers that require it. * How much technical effort is required to port to Ajaxslt? * How well does Ajaxslt perform? From memory, the XSL performance was reported to be slow on Safari. This probably won't be a problem parsing a Context document with minimal XPath requests, but would be a problem if we were parsing GML or SLD which could be much larger. I suggest Jean-Sebastien does some research, reports the results, makes a suggestion and we can decide in the next team meeting. -- Cameron Shorter Systems Architect, http://lisasoft.com.au Tel: +61 (0)2 8570 5050 Mob: +61 (0)419 142 254 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
