about Xalan-C++ commercial use

[Yu Jie <we...@yahoo.com>]

Dear,

    Our organization is planning a big project which
is a Linux-Embedded system and will be sold as
products in the market.
    It is necessary for us to choose a XSL Translator
product. From internet, we found your XSL Translator
product -- Xalan-C++, and we are very interested in
it, so we have a few important questions to ask though
some of the answers to them might be found in your
website, but we are a little afraid whether the
information might be out-of-date. 
    we would like to know wether we have to obtain
some special license or patent to be allowed to use
Xalan-C++ commercially
because we will use Xalan-C++ in our product to be
sold in the market. Though we know that Xalan-C++ is
under the Apache Software License 2.0, we are still
not quite sure what to do with the situation of
commercial use. 
    If so, could you tell us the operation flow and
how much money we have to pay for it if necessary.

    Thank you very much!

Best regards and Merry Christmas!

You should read the license carefully and consult a lawyer if you do not 
understand it:

http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt

No one can (or should) provide you with legal advice on this mailing list.

Xalan-C++ is free.
