[xsd-users] Licence Query for OSS projects

[Bradley Beddoes]

Hello,
I have been reading in detail tonight your license information for XSD 
and had a query which I hope to have cleared up, this was the only 
suitable forum I could find, if licensing queries are best directed 
elsewhere please let me know.

I am currently working on a library which will be open sourced under the 
Apache 2.0 license when it is completed. In addition to loading and 
manipulating XML documents using the generated code from XSD it will 
perform signature validation using Apache XML security, public key 
resolution/management and verification of supplied data to prevent for 
example replay attacks amongst others.

In my understanding of the FLOSSE file distributed this would clarify it 
as a member of the 1a scenario, and Apache 2.0 is a supported free 
software license, is this correct? Therefore all we need to do is label 
the generated code from XSD with the Apache 2.0 license header and 
distribution is legal? Do we need to supply the FLOSSE or any other 
relevant documentation with the release?

In addition to the above I hope to be able to feed back to you a list of 
quite complex schema developed by OASIS that XSD supports once 
everything is working well for inclusion on the supported schema pages.

Of course we look forward to working with the XSD community in the future.

regards,
Bradley
