XEOS : a commercially packaged Cocoon

Hi folks,

A colleague of mine pointed me to XEOS at 
http://www.heletel.com/products/xeos/index.html

This is a copy of Cocoon 2 (seems to be the 2.0.0 release) which has 
been totally repackaged ("org.apache.cocoon" changed to 
"com.heletel.xeos"). Strangely, though, the sitemap and XSP namespaces 
have been kept as is.

I couldn't find any mention of Cocoon in the docs or accompanying files, 
although the Apache license in its Tomacat incarnation since they also 
embed Tomcat.

Do some of you know about this product ? Is it legal for them not to 
mention Cocoon ?

Sylvain

well, they just need to reimport & rename the package names again, being 
uptodate again
if they have scripts to do that job

Search for "cocoon" on their FAQ page.
http://www.heletel.com/support/faqs.html
Freudian slip, must be. All 11 of them. :-))

That's called "paying stupid taxes" when one tries to catchup with the
recent version of a previously forked OS project ;)

Yep. And instead of helping the community to debug Cocoon, they made 
their own fork and are now miles away behind us ;-)

I downloaded it some time ago (more than a year ago, actually), and had
some trouble getting it up & running. Dunnow whether it has evolved
since then.

Funny enough, I vaguely recall having a brief email exchange, mentioning
its obvious Cocoon-basedness, and then the following answers:

"Xeos2 is based on an early version of Cocoon2 that has been debugged 
and improved to form a basis for adding improved database functionality."

  and

"We renamed the org.apache to com.heletel in order to maintain all files
within a single package."

Gee :-)

I bet it's legal. They need to mention only ASF:

 3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution, if any, 
must
    include  the following  acknowledgment:  "This product includes  
software
    developed  by the  Apache Software Foundation  
(http://www.apache.org/)."
    Alternately, this  acknowledgment may  appear in the software 
itself,  if
    and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear.

Moreover, to play on a safe side, they should not mention Cocoon:

 4. The names "Apache Cocoon" and  "Apache Software Foundation" must  
not  be
    used to  endorse or promote  products derived from  this software 
without
    prior written permission. For written permission, please contact
    apache@apache.org.
 
 5. Products  derived from this software may not  be called "Apache", 
nor may
    "Apache" appear  in their name,  without prior written permission  
of the
    Apache Software Foundation.

PS Bea done same to Xerces and Xerces - see weblogic.apache.* packages.
