xincluder and pdfbox

[Steven Noels <st...@outerthought.org>]

1) http://xincluder.sourceforge.net/ is Eliotte Rusty Harold's Java 
implementation of the XInclude spec. When inquiring him about the LGPL 
license attached to it, he told me he was willing to consider alternate 
licenses given some genuine request/interest from an established open 
source project.

2) http://www.pdfbox.org/ is a library for extracting text from PDFs 
(full-text searching with Lucene of PDF documents is made possible 
through this). The author has switched licenses from LGPL to BSD per my 
request.

Just fyi, maybe someone finds some reason to use them over here or in 
some other Apache projects. I made the enquiries because of the 
clarified ASF policies w.r.t. use of LGPL libraries from within Apache code.

Cheers,

</Steven>
