So regarding the RDFa Parser, there is a BSD license in the pom.xml, but there is no correct license header in the sources and I have contacted the developer with Dave on CC. If there is no response, I assume from your wording that the pom.xml is a sufficient proof of license for us (Apache), right? Thanks again, Nick! Svante
