hi,

StAX RI code is based on XPP3 and is under Apache License ASF v2 - 
however actual StAX JSR-173 API (jsr173_1.0_api.jar) which is @author 
"Copyright (c) 2003 by BEA Systems. All Rights Reserved." has a 
different license (AFAIK) and is also in codehaus SVN repository 
(src100/ contains original version and src/ current version with RI bug 
fixes - this or slightly older version is also in codehaus maven 
repository): see http://svn.stax.codehaus.org/trunk/dev/

this i admit is confusing and i have never understood that part of JCP 
process that resulted in this - i wish i could point to some place that 
explain it (such confusions are not good for long term StAX future)

it would be nice if all source code had:

/*   Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
 *   you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.

 */

but currently source code is a mixed bag though majority of code is 
under ASF v2 AFAIK.

if somebody can shed more light on that ...

thanks,

alek
