However, for some reasons, there has been many people on general@xml believing that JAXP was under Apache license and one precise person from Sun which is involved in Jaxp never denied it but Sun is still delivering under a license that is way more restrictive.
I can only say that jaxp license(s?) is one of the greatest unclarity I have ever seen from such a company as Sun.
This is important because... Sun is precisely the company that can make licenses a real threat for you. There was a Jaxp version which did not allow you to ship that version with your product if it was delivered six months later than the last version.
And they keep changing their license too...
And, for some products, you have to defend Sun if they get sued by someone that has used your software.
I presume this is the poor destiny of people writing code in such a confortable language whose license, itself, is only partially well understood. Fortunately, gcj allows us to hope for a more serene future in case Sun really strikes back with, say, their brand-names.

There's a number of people from Sun in the Xerces community, so I think that if there were a problem with the way things are done we would have heard about it.
