    Last I checked, the Saxon license was MPL 1.0 which, last I
    checked, was for some reason, incompatible with Apache License
    1.1 and 2.0. Thus, the Apache projects will not redistrbute Saxon.

    I've narrowed it down to BSD, M.I.T. and Apache, since these are
    licenses that are compatible with the Apache license.
