Hi Scott,
I understand your point.
Our intention is to specifically use this platform to deliver the Xerces-C++
3.1.2 NuGet package that we have put together so that users of DNV GL - Energy
software products can have access to it in a public and easily accessible
repository. We would clearly indicate that the package has been put together
with this specific goal in mind, and it is for this target audience that we
would, indeed, be maintaining it.
We would naturally (as befits the open source spirit) be more than happy for
other users to download and use the package in their own projects if they find
that it works for them (and this should be the case, given that it has been
built directly from unmodified sources).
This would all be clearly explained in the package's description to make users
well aware of the use case for the package, and letting them know that they are
completely welcome to use it if it works for them.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you,
Tiago

Speaking as the person who has done the last few releases, and not as a PMC
member, can you clarify the last sentence?
If you're going to upload something like that, you would most certainly be
taking responsibility for maintenance of such a package.
Basically, the licensing certainly permits you to do this, but you are the one
supporting it, not the project. If somebody else on the project or in the
community would like to support it, that's of course fine with me.
I'm not familair with this site, but if I thought I could get all my project's
dependencies to use it for Windows, I might be more open to the idea of
maintaining this one there, but that's not likely to be the case, at least not
soon.
