I am a project leader for a dual-licensed, open-source project. One
license being a GPL-based license; the other a commercial
license. References to our project:
http://www.cleversafe.org
We currently use Xerces-C/C++ for our XML interfacing/control. However,
the Xerces Apache license is not as compatible with our GPL license as we
would like it to be. Among other things, we can not distribute Xerces
source in our source tarballs so that our users can build a complete
Cleversafe system from source.
Could Xerces possibly offer an additional, GPL license to their distribution?
Note that if the Xerces project owns the copyright to the Xerces code then
it's my understanding that Xerces could legally offer an *additional* (and
not a replacement) GPL license to their code if the project (and the
project leaders) chose to do so.
Alas, the Apache project may have some say about this. I'm not sure of the
general Apache policies in this area.
Further, I want to make clear this is only a request and not a demand. We
will perfectly understand if Xerces is unable to grant this request.
In any case, we (Cleversafe) thank the Xerces project for providing such a
useful product to the community.
Thanks for any help,
-Matt
