Hi, I believe the XML files are available only under the AMQP license, so this would indeed seem to be a problem for you if that license is unacceptable. Fortunately, the AMQP PMC voted a while ago to allow the creation of stripped down BSD licensed variants of the XML files suitable for machine consumption[1]. We only use the included spec files for code generators, so we should be able to replace them with the stripped down BSD variants without any issues. I don't know if we can fix this by the weekend, but we should be able to make this change for the next RC of the current release. Does that help in any way?
