No, but I'll be starting the process of having it donated under
xml.apache.org ASAP.

I had to push jfor donation for FOP and dbXML donation as new
subproject, then we had to deal with the rejection of the ebXML proposal
and took away some time.

Anyway, Norman, in the meanwhile, release the source under a BSD-like
license (there is a strange clause about not being usable in a nuclear
facility, but that should not cause compatibility problems with our
license, but only place additional restriction on the users).

This means you can't do entity resolutions if you use avalon to control
you nuclear site, but java doesn't allow that anyway, so there should be
no real limitations.

This means, you can ship the updated licensed code even today!

The latest should work out of the box (2.0rc2)

yeah, no kidding.
