Arg. I'm torn. We've released it before, which of course doesn't
make it right. However, if you check out the Stax code, it is all
there and licensed as ASL. You would think we could take their word
for it. However, the problem is that now someone has cast doubt on
whether that code was truly donated. It's further complicated by the
fact that Oracle has now bought BEA, and much of the resources for
JIRA, etc. listed on the mailing list page are dead and the stuff is
virtually non-existent on Oracle's pages.
In the end, it is probably easier to just make the switch. These last
minute changes are not fun.

Someone brought up an issue with the StAX licensem, and after digging
through legal-discuss archives it seems the easiest way forward is to
perhaps replace it with the geronimo stax API and the woodstox
implementation.
I brought it up on legal-discuss again, but I'm not hopeful of an
unequivocal answer.
