Ah, well lots of us are quite happy with things that are simpler than W3C's schemas, but we don't need to start that again! I must say I'm perplexed by folk who are happy using proprietary libraries (binary), but won't use "GPL-with-library-exception". GPL has fewer restrictions: never a viral NDA to worry about, never any contamination of your apps just from using the library. So far as I know, no vendor other than Microsoft has found any problem using, for example, the GNU C library with proprietary closed-source applications. Every vendor shipping apps on Linux does exactly that. IBM and Oracle are just some of the better known names; neither has gives away their core IP when they link against GNU Libc. - Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Brennan" <Michael_Brennan@a...> To: "'David Brownell'" <david-b@p...> Cc: <xml-dev@l...> Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 5:12 PM Subject: RE: SAX2 ... missing features? > Thanks for the link.
