  Copyright Status for SAX

  SAX is free!

  In fact, it's not possible to own a license to SAX, since it's been placed in
  the public domain.

  No Warranty

  Because SAX is released to the public domain, there is no warranty for the
  design or for the software implementation, to the extent permitted by applicable
  law. Except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other
  parties provide SAX "as is" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or
  implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of
  merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the
  quality and performance of SAX is with you. Should SAX prove defective, you
  assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

  In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing will any
  copyright holder, or any other party who may modify and/or redistribute SAX, be
  liable to you for damages, including any general, special, incidental or
  consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use SAX (including
  but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses
  sustained by you or third parties or a failure of the SAX to operate with any
  other programs), even if such holder or other party has been advised of the
  possibility of such damages.

  been able to claim copyright for the original work.
