The Original Code of SAXON comprises all those components which are not explicitly attributed to other parties. It does not include the Ælfred parser, which is redistributed under the licence described below.
The Initial Developer of the Original Code was Michael Kay of International Computers Limited. Individual modules identified as being created by James Clark, David Megginson, or John Cowan include separate IPR notices. All Rights Reserved.
Since February 2001 I (Michael Kay) have been an employee of Software AG, and I continue to develop Saxon with the support and sponsorship of that company. Technically, therefore, the "Initial Developer" no longer exists (the form of words was deliberately chosen to reflect the joint involvement of myself and ICL), so I now work as a "Contributor". Other contributors are acknowledged individually in comments attached to the relevant code modules.
iclway is an Internet Service Provider operated by ICL; however, the fact that I continue to use this ISP for hosting Saxon does not imply that ICL have any interest in the content of the site. Equally, for reasons of continuity, I have kept the icl.com domain name in package names and namespace URIs with the tacit consent of ICL, but this should not be taken to imply any ongoing ICL involvement.
If you produce a product that includes or requires SAXON, please refer to it as "The SAXON XSLT Processor from Michael Kay", and include the URL of the home page, which is at http://saxon.sourceforge.net/.
There is no guarantee of technical support, though I am usually able to answer enquiries within a few days. Please subscribe to the mailing list available at http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/saxon-help and raise any enquiries there. Also check the list archives: I post lists of known errors there from time to time.
Included in the Saxon distribution is a modified version of the Ælfred XML parser from Microstar. I have taken the relevant part of David Brownell's Ælfred2 distribution, repackaged it, and fixed a few bugs. All cahnges are clearly documented in the source code.
This is distributed under the terms of Microstar's terms and conditions, which are as follows:
