(I am resending this email, for it looks like it did not make it through
went I sent it yesterday--Friday 4/14 at noon CT.)
Xerces-C/C++ authors/developers,
I am managing a GPL-based project that uses the Xerces-C/C++ library. I
would like to be able to package Xerces-C/C++ libraries and/or source with
some of project's distributions (particularly on Windows systems).
However, Xerces' Apache license is incompatible with the GPL and thus we
can not distribute it with our project and will require our users to
acquire the library and/or source separately--causing the biggest problems
on Windows' systems.
Can Xerces-C++ offer GPL-based license to my project? If so, how can we go
about formalizing the logistics for such a thing?
Fyi, We have the same challenge with OpenSSL. However, this problem has
been addressed and managed by other parties as per:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSL_exception>
I see no such things for Xerces-C/C++.
An aside: is there a convenient, supported, and/or popular way for users to
acquire binary Xerces-C/C++ libraries to which we can point our users?
Thank you for any consideration for this matter,
-Matt
