Saxon for xpath [WAS: RE: 1.1 - The bug list is growing ... sorry ]

["Viner, David" <dv...@yahoo-inc.com>]

does saxon come with licensing terms that would allow us to use it in
Xindice?
(I believe that's why we currently use xalan.)

I haven't looked at saxon but if it is the solution for supporting XPath 
and XQuery, so be it!

The idea is to start a fake server for the tests, test the xml-rpc xmldb 
api and simply hope that the war works.

Mozilla Public License? It is not viral enough:
  
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/cocoon-2.1/legal/LICENSE.rhino?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

So Saxon should be ok to be in ASF repository.


BTW, I'm adding avalon xpath processor based on Saxon to the 
avalon-excalibur/xmlutil. soon.

It's MPL, which is viral, so I'd say it's probably not usable.
