<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=295405611-28092006>I tried to register
a new free software project at Savannah and learned hat JDOM is
not</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

and thus cannot be legally combined with </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=295405611-28092006>I have previously
heard several people claiming that, as JDOM uses a
permissive</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=295405611-28092006>BSD-style license,
it should be GPL-compatible. But I just found out that</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

case.<BR></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=295405611-28092006>Has anyone
considered removing or changing the minor issues that make
JDOM incompatible</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=295405611-28092006>with GPL? Its a
shame that I have to change to another XML parser. =(</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
