No news, this issue is still pending. I would like to move from GPL to
LGPL, would that be sufficient?

I completely missed this thread, so sorry for the late reply. I don't
know if there's any news about this issue?
See reply at the bottom.
I would like xmlbs to become a MMBase project or part of MMBase and
make Remco commitor. I got the impression that Remco was willing to
do so, but maybe I'm wrong.
I do like to become a committer and I did offer the code for inclusion
into the mmbase source tree. There's 3 ways of doing this:
- full inclusion; introducing an mmbase package like
org.mmbase.util.xmlbs, importing all xmlbs source and replacing the
xmlbs site by a notice saying it moved into mmbase.
- mirroring; same as above but I'll keep working on xmlbs in my
private
cvs and backport every bugfix and major change back to the mmbase
pacakge.
- handling it as an external library and change the license if
necessary. I'll make sure the jar-file stays accessible and will
keep
the mmbase build process and wordfilter uptodate.
Currently I prefer the last option because it ensures xmlbs stays
usable
and accessible outside mmbase and it's the least amount of work for me
but if somebody has compelling reasons to go for one of the other two
options that's fine too.
I'd also prefer this option. If you're willing to change the license
that would be nice (dual or triple license you were talking about
iirc), because we could add this to the default build process without
any license problems.
