Building the product requires a Jet development license which is also proprietary, though available free of charge when used in conjunction with open source software. Inevitably there will be some users for whom these terms aren't liberal enough; that's life. For many years Saxon was dependent on the Sun Java run-time, which was also free-of-charge but not open source, so I don't see it as a big change. Michael Kay Saxonica
