About the only Google references to "dixon waxter" are for
a lawyer late of Baltimore, I suspect we have our first

get at us.
XML people, please identify the Berry files to which he
refers, and confirm that we have them with permission.
And confirm that we *are* including the config* files
because of the ./configure exception.

First of all, I have read Apache's FAQ web-page, but I still have a
question for Apache regarding the source code for Apache XML
Xerces-c-src1_5_1 (source package for Windows).
In the source code, there are two files ("src/config.guess" and
"src/config") which are copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation
and licensed under the GNU GPL. Is Apache aware of these two files?
Does Apache consider itself to fall within the "Autoconf" exception in
the licensing terms?
There are also four files written by James D. Berry of Critical Path
Software, Inc. Is Mr. Berry affiliated with Apache or has Apache
received permission to use and distribute his work?

I believe the "four files" in question, which include my name, are:
- MacOSURLAccess.hpp
- MacOSURLAccess.cpp
- URLAccessBinInputStream.hpp
- URLAccessBinInputStream.cpp
Note that these files contain the standard apache copyright header. The only
mention of me is as the author: I make no claim of copyright, though I did
write the code from the ground up and submit and commit it to the apache
project with the apache copyright header.
Here's an example section from URLAccessBinInputStream.hpp:
...apache header here...

Also, I traded the following email with Dixon Waxter on Jan 24:
Hi Dixon,
This mail found me. Yes, I wrote that code, and yes, to the best of my
knowledge this code is being properly distributed by Apache under the Apache
Software License.
I'd be happy to answer any other questions at this email address...

By cc to James, please confirm ....

./configure exception.
The Autoconf license in config.guess and config.sub says:
# As a special exception to the GNU General Public License, if you
# distribute this file as part of a program that contains a
# configuration script generated by Autoconf, you may include it under
# the same distribution terms that you use for the rest of that program.
Xerces-C++ ships "configure" (a configuration script generated by Autoconf),
config.guess and config.sub. So I think "yes" (other committers, please
correct me if I am wrong), we are including config.sub and config.guess from
Autoconf because of above special ./configure exception.
Thanks!
