| <faq title="Can I use &XercesCName; in my product?"> |
| <q>Can I use &XercesCName; in my product?</q> |
| <a> |
| <p>Most likely yes. &XercesCName; is distributed under |
| the terms of the Apache Software License version 2.0 |
| which is a fairly permissive license. In particular, |
| it allows you to distribute your application in |
| binary form without requiring you to also release |
| the source code. Read the license agreement for more |
| information and if you still have further questions, |
| then please address them to the |
| <jump href="&MailURI;">&XercesCName; user mailing list</jump>.</p> |

| <faq title="Which files do I need to distribute with my application?"> |
| <q>Which files do I need to distribute with my application?</q> |
| <a> |
| <p>You only need to distribute <em>one</em> file:<br></br> |
| |
| &XercesC3WindowsDLL;.dll for Windows<br/> |
| &XercesC3UnixLib;-&XercesC3UnixSoVersion;.a for AIX<br/> |
| &XercesC3UnixLib;-&XercesC3UnixSoVersion;so. for Solaris/Linux<br/> |
| &XercesC3UnixLib;-&XercesC3UnixSoVersion;.sl for HP-UX on PA-RISC<br/> |
| &XercesC3UnixLib;-&XercesC3UnixSoVersion;.so for HP-UX on IA64<br/> |
| &XercesC3UnixLib;-&XercesC3UnixSoVersion;.dylib for Mac OS X |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Note, however, that if you built &XercesCName; with dependencies |
| on other libraries (e.g., ICU for transcoder support or libcurl |
| for net accessor support) then you will need to ship those |
| libraries as well.</p> |
| |
| <p>You can also link your application to a static version |
| of the &XercesCName; library in which case you won't need |
| to distribute any extra libraries.</p> |

| |
| <q>I do not see a binary for my platform. When will it be available?</q> |
| |
| <a> |
| <p>The reason why you see binaries only for some specific |
| platforms is that we have had the maximum requests for |
| them. Moreover, we have limited resources and hence cannot |
| publish binaries for every platform. If you wish to |
| contribute your time and effort in building binaries for a |
| specific platform/environment then please send a mail to the |
| <jump href="&MailURI;">&XercesCName; developer mailing list</jump>.</p> |

| |
| <q>When will a port to my platform be available?</q> |
| |
| <a> |
| <p>We would like to see &XercesCName; ported to as |
| many platforms as practical. However, due to limited resources |
| we cannot do all the ports. Here are the <jump |
| href="program-others-&XercesC3Series;.html#PortingGuidelines">Porting |
| Guidelines</jump>.</p> |
| |
| <p>We encourage you to submit the changes that |
| are required to make it work on another platform. We will |
| incorporate these changes in the source code base and make |
| them available in the future releases.</p> |
| |
| <p>All porting changes may be sent to the |
| <jump href="&MailURI;">&XercesCName; developer mailing list</jump> |
