Copyright Status

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.
