Axis does pass the TCK, even the bit about exceptions. So there should be
nothing to worry about

Subject: Licensing Issues


We are getting ready to release our product using Axis, and need to
clarify any licensing issues.  Past posts to this list have been less
than enlightening about this issue, and the Axis web site has no
licensing information.

It seems that, even Axis is an Apache product, and redistributable under
the Apache license, there are limitations placed on it by its use of
JAX-RPC.  Apparently Sun doesn't allow the release of a final product
that implements a Java API until that product passes the Sun TCK.  Can
anyone expand on this, as well as provide some information about how
this affects beta versions, release candidates etc.

Thanks for the help.
