--- Begin Message ---Davanum, I apologize for the delayed response to both your email and vmail - I was at XML Web Services One the week your message came in and then was out a good part of last week due to an injury. I'm trying to see if folks here will consider a change to the licensing terms to accommodate Apache. Unfortunately I won't be able to get all the right players together until sometime next week. So I don't have much to report at this time. I understand the issue and will update you once I have some info. I apologize again for the delay. Rob Philpott RSA Security Inc.
