If you have any concerns on any of the dependencies, there is a way to
get away as well.
libxml2 and iconv dependency can be dropped by using Guththila parser,
which is the built in pull parser of Apache Axis2/C.
zlib dependency is optional, meaning if you chose not to use zip
archives as services then you can build without that support.
So if you use Guthtila parser and disable zip archives for services,
then there are no worries on licensing as all the rest are under Apache 2.0.

Hi,
I see that Axis2C has following dependencies
libxml2.dll [http://www.xmlsoft.org - download the version >=
libxml2-2.6.27.win32 ] (optional - required only if you
are not using Guththila parser)iconv.dll [
http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ - download the
version >= iconv-1.9.1.win32]zlib1.dll [
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ - download the version >=
zlib-1.2.3.win32]libxslt.dll [http://www.xmlsoft.org -
download the version >= libxslt-1.1.24.win32
]http://ws.apache.org/axis2/c/docs/installationguide.html#win_binary
These dependencies are not comming directly with Axis2C
binaries but only links to download are provided in the
documentation.
iconv is from www.gnu.org <http://www.gnu.org>.
So my questions is how are these dependencies licensed and how
compatible is Apache2 license of Axis with these dependencies
licenses? Why these are not comming bundled in Axis2C binaries
and only links to download are provided?
First of all I'm not a licensing expert :), Please correct me If I'm
wrong. I think licenses of softwares you mentioned above is not
compatible with Apache Axis2/C licensing (Apache 2.0), Therefore I
think we could not bundled them with Axis2/C. However I think it is
upto user to download them and use. I also having questions regarding
licensing , I'm glad you ask this question.
thanks,
Dinesh
