======================================================================== This is the license for the s11n library, effective 3 October 2003. ======================================================================== For purposes of this license, 's11n' refers to all C/C++ source code files which reside in the following subdirectories of this distribution: lib/standalone lib/cl lib/toolbox lib/s11n lib/s11n/parsers lib/node lib/node/lex lib/lite client/s11nconverter client/s11nlibconfig client/sample The majority of the code was written by Stephan Glenn Beal , and is released into the Public Domain by it's author. All build-related files are Public Domain. Some source code falls under other licenses such as LGPL or BSD, as described in their source files. To the best of my understanding, s11n falls under Section 5 of the LGPL, and need not be released under that license. (More specifically, it contains no LGPL code, but uses features provided by a couple of LGPL'd classes.) The list of files which are known to be exceptions to the Public Domain license: LGPL: lib/toolbox/bzstream.{h,cpp} lib/toolbox/gzstream.{h,cpp} BSD: include/FlexLexer.h MIT: lib/expat (may or may not be in your s11n distribution) Unspecified: toc/bin/mkdeps.c These are all released under fairly non-restritive licenses. There *may* be other such files: please see the individual source files if in doubt. ======================================================================== This ends the license for the s11n library. ========================================================================
