I have used both versions of kXML in past projects. If you agree, I will try to port it to the new version over the weekend.

Subject: Re: KXML License
I agree that we have two options:
1. Nuking SB from the repo.
2. Porting SB to kxml2.
Since our SCR impl uses kxml2 and is simply a modified
version of SB, it seems like it would be simple to modify SB
to use kxml2...the main issue is finding someone who has the
time to do it. I know Humberto is very busy at this point in time...

From memory, the service binder is currently the only one
still using
kXML 1.x (which has this "problematic" license). Several
other bundles
have already been migrated to kXML 2.x (which has a different
license). I have no experience with either version of the
library, so
I don't know if it is easy to migrate from 1.x to 2.x but I
do believe
that is the way to go. Perhaps Humberto or Richard can have
a look at
this (or somebody else with kXML experience)?

I am concerned about the license for KXML, which I believe we use.
From my uneducated reading of the below clause [1] (which is taken
from Enhydra 1.0, I can't yet find a copy of 1.1), we cannot use
KXML, as it places a requirement upon us that we offer
modifications
public and notifying the originator. This is a requirement
on top of
those in the ASL and is therefore not compatible.
So, how do we deal with this? How possible is it to
replace KXML with
something else, assuming my interpretation is correct?
