Hi Aleksey,
thanks for looking at this,
after having a quick look into the patch (
http://external.openoffice.org/source/browse/external/libxmlsec/xmlsec1-1.2.4.patch
) I haven't found any sources where copyrights are removed, I found some new added files without copyright notice. If I or we should have overseen something please gives us a hint, we will fix it immediately.
We also should join our efforts and should try to join modifications to your tree. I'm sure Andrew ( and also Malte ) will work with you to review or rework any changes so that they are useful for all. We are not interested in establishing a fork anyway, so that is also in our interest to get changes/fixes back to your main stream, but on the other side we might have some requirements to apply some patches to get it integrated with OOo. Please let us know about eventual concerns.

I did look at the patch anyway and I think we have a little problem here. This patch removes copyrights from the source code (mine and other folks contributed to xmlsec). From legal point of view this means that OO can not use xmlsec at all.
Best, Aleksey

Even worse. Since Andrew and other guys did not submit their patches back I can not even look at them. Because otherwise I might write some code that looks too close to what they are doing :(

And watching the source it seems it does a lot more than that.
I'd say they are so many changes I don't think a user encountering problems with
their version could expect correct support directly from Aleksey.
that's why I'm worried, it looks like a fork... Red Hat ships xmlsec1 we also ship OpenOffice.org, and I think we will try as much as possible to use only one version, and possibly drop the Oo.o patches unless they can be justified and merged in the main stream.
