I replied "yes" and "I believe so", respectively.

About the only Google references to "dixon waxter" are for
a lawyer late of Baltimore, I suspect we have our first
(?) case of an ambulance chaser looking for a way to
get at us.

XML people, please identify the Berry files to which he
refers, and confirm that we have them with permission.
And confirm that we *are* including the config* files
because of the ./configure exception.

First of all, I have read Apache's FAQ web-page, but I still have a
question for Apache regarding the source code for Apache XML
Xerces-c-src1_5_1 (source package for Windows).

In the source code, there are two files ("src/config.guess" and
"src/config") which are copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation
and licensed under the GNU GPL.  Is Apache aware of these two files?
Does Apache consider itself to fall within the "Autoconf" exception in
the licensing terms?

There are also four files written by James D. Berry of Critical Path
Software, Inc.  Is Mr. Berry affiliated with Apache or has Apache
received permission to use and distribute his work?
