OpenSAML user discussion

Hi Harald,

Under its present commercial license you will certainly not be able to 
incorporate Sun's code into another commercial product.

The opensso project that the saml2 toolkit may become part of, is 
licensed under Sun's new open source license CDDL that is derived from 
the mozilla license.

Information about this license can be found at http://www.sun.com/cddl/ 
and http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.php.
