Redistributed Components

This page describes Category C components as defined above: components that are redistributed with Saxon in binary form, without source-level alteration. (The ICU library is included in this category, though the version that is distributed has been tailored to Saxon's needs using the configuration facilities available within the ICL product.)

Saxon on Java

ASM

See http://asm.ow2.org/

Saxon-EE, on both Java and .NET, includes the ASM bytecode generation library. The code is issued without modification, except that on .NET it is cross-compiled to .NET IL form.

The license can be found at http://asm.ow2.org/license.html

XQJ

See http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=225

XQJ is a Java API for XQuery, supported by a number of XQuery implementations including Saxon. To support this API, Saxon necessarily includes the Java files that define the interfaces.

These files are copyright (c) Oracle Corporation. They are used under a license which permits use and redistribution. The license however does not qualify as an open source license under the rules of the Open Source Initiative, because it explicitly prohibits modification of the relevant files. For this reason XQJ is issued as a free-standing JAR file in the open-source Saxon-HE product.

The license for XQJ is provided in the JSR 225 specification. This contains separate licenses for the specification, the reference implementation, and the "technology compatibility kit" (that is, the reference tests). Saxonica considers that the Java interface files are part of the specification and are licensed under the conditions that apply to the specification. These conditions are as follows:

Specification License

Oracle USA (the “Spec Lead”) for the XQuery API for Java specification (the “Specification”) hereby grant a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as explicitly set forth below) license to copy and display the Specification, in any medium without fee or royalty, provided that you include the following on ALL copies, or portions thereof, that you make:

A link or URL to the Specification at this location: http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr225/index.html.
The copyright notice as shown herein.

In addition, to the extent that an implementation of the Specification would be considered a derivative work under applicable law requiring a license grant from the holder of the copyright in the Specification, the Spec Lead grants a copyright license solely for the purpose of making and/or distributing an implementation of the Specification that: (a) except for the RI code licensed from Oracle under the RI License which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, does not include or otherwise make any use of the RI; (b) fully implements the Specification including all of its required interfaces and functionality; (c) does not modify, subset, superset or otherwise extend those public class or interface declarations whose names begin with “java;” and (d) passes the TCK.

The Spec Lead also agrees, upon request, to grant a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, non sub-licensable, non-transferable, royalty-free fully paid-up license, for the sole purposes of making, having made, using, selling and offering for sale, implementations of the Specification that meet the requirements of (a) - (d) above, under those respective patent claims that they own, or have the authority to license, for which there is no technically feasible way of avoiding infringement in the course of implementing the Specification (“Necessary Patent Claims”).

The licenses and agreement to license set forth above are conditional upon licensee’s offering a license, on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms to Necessary Patent Claims that they own or have the authority to license to make, have made, use, sell and offer for sale, implementations of the Specification that meet the requirements of (a) - (d) above, to all other licensees to the Specification who agree to offer a similar license and not initiating any claim that either Specification Lead, has, in the course of performing its responsibilities as the Specification Lead, induced any other entity to infringe the licensee’s patent rights.

THE SPECIFICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS," AND THE SPEC LEAD AND ANY OTHER AUTHORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE; THAT THE CONTENTS OF THE SPECIFICATION ARE SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE; NOR THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUCH CONTENTS WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PATENTS OF THE SPECIFICATION LEADS), COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS OR OTHER RIGHTS. THE SPEC LEAD AND ANY OTHER AUTHORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY USE OF THE SPECIFICATION OR THE PERFORMANCE OR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONTENTS THEREOF.

The name and trademarks of the Spec Lead or any other Authors may NOT be used in any manner, including advertising or publicity pertaining to the Specification or its contents without specific, written prior permission. Title to copyright in the Specification will at all times remain with the Authors.

No other rights are granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

Saxonica certifies that the Saxon product, as an implementation of XQJ, satisfies the conditions of this license (for example, it passes the tests in the TCK).

ICU-J

See http://site.icu-project.org//

Saxon-EE, on both Java and .NET, includes portions of the International Components for Unicode, to support prinicipally use of the Unicode Collation Algorthim.

The license can be found at http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/trunk/license.html, which contains details of the licences for third-party software components that it includes, not all of which are included in Saxon-EE.

Saxon on .NET

IKVM Runtime

See http://www.ikvm.net/. Can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69637. Saxon links dynamically to this DLL.

OpenJDK Classpath

The copy of OpenJDK Classpath released with Saxon on .NET is a derived from the version that is released as part of IKVM Runtime (see above). This in turn is derived largely from the Sun OpenJDK distribution, together with some components taken from the Red Hat IcedTea library, compiled into CIL code using IKVMC. Saxon 9.1 uses IKVM 0.40.0.1, which in turn uses OpenJDK 7 b13.

Saxon distributes only the parts of this library that are actually needed. These parts have been rebuilt from source code, but no source modifications have been made.

Saxon links dynamically to this DLL.

The license conditions are at http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html. (This is a modified variant of the GNU Public License version 2, with a special clause allowing it to be used as part of a product that is not itself open source.)

Applicable notice: GPL+CLASSPATH.txt

Apache Xerces

Rather than distributing the Sun version of Xerces that comes with the OpenJDK library, Saxon instead distributes the Apache version of Xerces. (The two versions have diverged considerably. The Apache version is used because it is considered more reliable and is also easier to integrate because it does not have unnecessary dependencies on other parts of the JDK library.)

The two Apache JAR files xercesImpl.jar and resolver.jar have been cross-compiled to IL code using the IKVMC compiler, but are otherwise unmodified.

The license conditions for Xerces are at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

Applicable notices: APACHE-XERCES.txt, APACHE-RESOLVER.txt

TagSoup

Supporting the saxon:parse-html() extension function, the code of TagSoup version 1.2 is included in the Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE distributions on .NET. Apart from cross-compiling from Java bytecode to IL code, the code is unmodified.

Information about TagSoup, including links to the download location for source code, is available at http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/tagsoup/.

The license conditions for TagSoup are at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
