Andrew, Since Web Services = Legal Mine field...Getting the license for Apache will ensure that Apache as a Legal Entity will be protected and that the coding can go on for now. There are 2 JSR's in the jcp and WS-Security spec in OASIS that will need this as well.
Am not sure there anything else we can do in this situation. Am afraid this problem is going to crop up up more and more in the future. Thanks, dims --- "Andrew C.
