schema files from standard organizations

[Bozhong Lin <bl...@iona.com>]

Hi,

Right now, our distribution includes various schema files from standard 
organization, mainly W3C. Some schema files is under W3C license, which 
is straight forward to include in distribution, for example xml.xsd. But 
some schema files are contributed by other companies and they only have 
copy right text in files header,  these are gray area for us to include 
them in distribution. These schema files are all available in public 
URL, and I wonder if our code can just refer to public URL instead of 
these local file system. If we can do that, then we would not need to 
distribution these schema files. Of course, by referring to public URL 
in our code, build will fail without internet access. Any thoughts on this?

Regards,
Bo

I say we rely on the public URL for the short term and try to work out
something else in the medium/long term. I think our first priority should be
getting the M1 release out.
