    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?

Axis2/C team do not license the dependencies, rather we use them. The dependent libraries will have their own licenses. Weather these licenses are compatible or not with Apache matters only if we redistribute.

    Why these are not comming bundled in Axis2C binaries and only
    links to download are provided?


We do not bundle, because there can be compatibility issues.

On how to drop these dependencies and be only on Apache 2.0 licence based dependencies see my earlier reply.
