I'm not convinced it is necessary. Providing simple acknowledgment is not a lot to ask for something that you're using for free. If you consider that advertising for the XML:DB Initiative then I don't see anything wrong with that either. It's not like the XML:DB Initiative really gets anything out of it, there is no money involved here. In fact given the nature of what the XML:DB API is for, I would think that if you implemented it you would not want to hide that fact. Can you detail more why you find this to be an issue?

Sorry, should have been more meticulous with my choice of words... I was viewing the requirement to acknowledge as a form of advertising for xmldb.
I like acknowledging great products when I use them in my own projects.
.. just don't like being required to do so. The newest Apache license has removed the acknowledgement clause to my knowledge and I was wondering whether xmldb was going to as well (I know everyone is busy writing the code and it may have been overlooked<g>)
Thanks, Kevin
