RE: [higgins-dev] C++ SOAP libraries

["Mary Ruddy" <mary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If we are still looking for a C++ SOAP library, the MPL 1.1 license is
compatible with  EPL. 

At first glance, the license at tinyxpath looked OK to Eclipse legal as
well.  Though while the license at a very cursory glance may be compatible,
Eclipse Legal was a bit puzzled why the SourceForge site for the package
indicates a different license link.  Clearly more investigation would be
required.  Of course, pedigree is also something that Eclipse investigates
as well. (The license could be ok, but the project might not keep track of
IP contributions, etc.)

Note: Eclipse has ready approved two Xpath packages  - Xpp3_min 1.1.3.4.O
and Xpp3_Xpath 1.1.3.4O.  Could these be used?

Subject: [higgins-dev] C++ SOAP libraries

For the IE version of the Higgins Browser Extension we need to choose a C++
library to work with WSDL based web services. We found several C++ libraries
(see below) but the licensing situation isn't great:

1. http://wsdlpull.sourceforge.net/ - License: GNU Library or Lesser General
Public License (LGPL) (see attached)

2. http://csoap.sourceforge.net/ - Not found license

3. http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html  - License:
http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html 

4. http://tinyxpath.sourceforge.net/  -  License:
http://tinyxpath.sourceforge.net/ 

Does anyone know of any C++ libraries with licenses closer to EPL? (e.g.
Apache?)
