CC'ing cxf-dev and apache legal, as it pertains to Geronimo, but I think
it would be good for us (CXF) to hear from legal The part of the
license that concerns me is this:
No part of this document may be reproduced in any form by any means
without prior written authorization of Sun and its licensors, if any.
Does G have prior written authorization to include it as part of the
source distro? Does Apache as a whole? Can we as an incubating project
redistribute this in our source distribution? If not can we do so
temporarily until we're able to obtain authorization?

Hi,
Apache CXF currently use java EE 5 [1] schema, and would like to include
the schema in distribution if that is allowed from copyright
perspective. From the copyright statement included in the schema file,
it seems to be very strict for redistribution. I found that Geronimo
source distribution includes java EE 1.4 schema [2], which has similar
copyright statement. I just wonder if this ever was a legal issue for
you guys, and how you guys get around of this if so?
Thanks for the insight!
Cheers,
Bo
