Hi all,

IMHO with the NOTICES and LICENSE added by Christian and that the „Streaming 
API for XML“ is added as binary (JAR) we are align with the legal terms defined 
by Apache: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b


Other Apache projects also include the „Streaming API for XML“ with the CDDL 
license reference.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/LENS/Licensing+in+Apache+Lens

https://github.com/soundasleep/simple-cmis-java/blob/master/lib/opencmis/DEPENDENCIES



The only part I would change in the LICENSE is the used url: 
http://www.sun.com/cddl/cddl.html

to this: https://glassfish.java.net/public/CDDL+GPL.html
Because the first seems outdated and the second one is also used by the „Java 
Streaming XML Parser“ website: https://sjsxp.java.net


Kind Regards,
Michael
