I'm not sure I understand where the licensing problems would come from. Are you using any code from javadoc or Sun ? Are you implementing any Sun APIs in XJavaDoc ? The only possible problem I can see is the name ( which is very close ). > 1) Can anyone with more knowledge about licenses tell me whether XJavaDoc > is in violation with Sun's license for JavaDoc? I don't have knowledge about licenses, but I fail to see how it could be ( unless you use some code or APIs from javadoc ). Maybe a trademark violation - if JavaDoc is tm. > 2) Would it be fair to claim that XJavaDoc is *not* a clean room > implementation of JavaDoc? That's something only XJavaDoc authors you can tell, and nobody else. If you used JavaDoc source code in creating XJavaDoc - then it can't be a "clean room".
