The actual licence details may have been different. I can count Tim Bray's Lark, Norbert Mikola's tool (I forget its name, but it was seminal in developing XML) and expat and a Java equivalent from James Clark. Murato Makoto's tools. There was a good deal of stuff from IBM alphaworks - not sure how much of that was technically OS but it has inspired the development of apache.xml. I made a consistent appeal for OS on XML-DEV and I remember when (I think Fujitsu) made something available with a phrase like "We've listened!... and now we have released this under OS". I can't think of many original XML parsers which were closed - certainly none which were costs-money. But memory may play tricks. P.
