I'm not sure about the details, though I assume it is connected to Saxonica,
but I understand Eclipse won't bundle it, and I have seen quotes like these:

"Saxon unfortunately gives some IP lawyers the jitters. I personally 
think that Michael Kay has done an excellent job documenting his contributions 
but unfortunately it does not appease everybody."

"Jürgen Schumacher from SMILA removed Jaxen and Saxon dependencies 
from ODE - which is a prerequisite to get ODE through the eclipse IP 
compliance process due to some license issues with Jaxen and Saxon."
