Non-GPL xml library ?

Non-GPL xml library ?

[Patrick]

I have tried to re-read some of the old threads. This one mentioned xml/ada being as GPL:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/comp.lang.ada/xml/comp.lang.ada/0PbDfjwbcSo/c9jYrwcRm6EJ

and it seems that it might have been GMGPL at first.  

I hope I don't upset anyone but I am not in a GPL  headspace right now, for me it's the worst possible situation. I am afraid to violate someone else's license but not willing to sue anyone for violating mine. 

If I end up with code/software I would like to redistribute, I would like to use Beerware/BSD/MIT.

Is there an xml library that is not GPL? 

Did this list seem pretty complete:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/comp.lang.ada/currently$20maintained/comp.lang.ada/bP3ERua76Lo/yzKxLzn6rJcJ

I could try to sort it by license if someone thinks it's a useful thing to do. I'm concerned as no xml was mentioned. Without Adacore's GPL libraries I guess I am in a bad spot.

Matreshka[1] supports SAX processing.

Hi Simon

Matreshka looks full of good stuff and I did read about it before posting but can the xml portion be decoupled from the rest of the project?

Thanks for answering my post-Patrick

Is it widely used?

We use it (strings API, XML read and write API, SQL API). It's nice.

Now we are implementing an Ada code generator from UML using Matreshka's Ada Modelling Framework.
