Hmm, that's not exactly correct... It turns out that the XOM library brought in as a transitive dependency by Jaxen is LGPL software. You should be fine as LGPL makes few demands on redistribution, but we'll need to evaluate the impact of this LGPL dependency in relation with the Apache third party licensing policy. AFAIK Jaxen uses XOM only when querying XOM trees, and since Tika never invokes that functionality the XOM dependency is fully optional. According to the current draft of the third party licensing policy [1] that should be OK, so there is no need to pull the 0.1 release because of this. And now after TIKA-117 we no longer even depend on Jaxen or XOM. > If you like, I can help you with that. As a part of TIKA-115 I reviewed all the licenses of our current (post TIKA-117) dependencies and updated the license and notice files accordingly in preparation for distributing a Tika bundle with all the dependencies. See [2] and [3] for the copyright notices and license information that cover both Tika itself and all the required runtime dependencies.
