I wouldn't say recently, but yes. They did change licenses a while ago *for new releases* from BCL to CDDL which moved them from Category X to Category B. So yes, substituting the geronimo jars in MOST cases is no longer necessary. However, not all of the Sun jars have had a new release with the new License. That said, may folks would prefer the Apache licensed versions. That said, you specifically asked about saaj-impl, not saaj-api. Geronimo doesn't have a saaj-impl. The closest at Apache would likely be in Axis. I believe they have an saaj-impl based on Axiom someplace. Geronimo does have an saaj-api I believe. > If so, what caveats do I > need to include in NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt, or should I just copy > whatever Chemistry does? Well, you'd need to mention the CDDL license for the saaj-impl in the LICENSE.TXT.
