jax-rpc license question

Hello all,

Are the javax.xml.rpc classes in axis.jar redistributed from the Sun 
distribution of JAX-RPC, or are they unencumbered code?

I'm in the process of evaluating Java apis/tools for xml rpc.  I've 
found the JAX-RPC api distributed by Sun unacceptable for now due to 
licensing issues.  Their license states it expires in 180 days and the 
software is only for evaluation purposes.

I was surprised to find that axis.jar has a number of the classes 
defined in the javax.xml.rpc packages.  Are these separate 
implementations of the API and thus unencumbered, or does AFS have a 
license exception from Sun?

Thank you,

Brian
