Hi Georg, I'm surprised that Jaxen didn't meet your IP requirements, it's MIT licensed which is fairly liberal. We could even relicense it under ASL 2.0 if we wanted to.
It's hard to remove the dependency toward both Jaxen and Saxon: the former is provided to support XPath 1.0 and the latter XPath 2.0 (and XQuery). We could provide one without the other (i.e. Jaxen but not Saxon), forcing the usage of one version of XPath over the other, but if we remove both it's going to be very hard to run a BPEL process with no XPath support. If you really can't accept Jaxen we could replace it with Xalan (ASL 2.0) for XPath 1.0 support but I'd like to know why Jaxen isn't acceptable before going down that road.
