CyberNeko HTML Parser
NekoHTML is a simple HTML scanner and tag balancer that enables Java application programmers to parse HTML documents and access the information using standard XML interfaces. The parser can scan HTML files and "fix up" many common mistakes that human (and computer) authors make in writing HTML documents. NekoHTML is written using the Xerces Native Interface (XNI) that is the foundation of the Xerces2 implementation. This enables application programmers to use the NekoHTML parser with existing XNI tools without modification or rewriting code.

The default behavior was changed to not normalize attribute values and a new feature was added to allow users to turn on normalization. The build was modified to target compilation for Java 1.3. Suggested paragraph tag balancing was adjusted and various reported bugs were fixed.

If anyone is interested, i sent this question to licensing AT gnu DOT org:

And i got this answer:

Here are a few relevent links for you:

Note: The CyberNeko license is based on the Apache version 1.1 license.
Re: Apache license or Cyberneko license?
To be more specific, i'm working for a company which is looking to GPL our software. We are using a couple of Apache libraries, which are under the Apache license.
Therefore we include a GPL "special exception" which allows linking with software licensed under "The Apache License".
Since CyberNeko is under an Apache-style license, but not "The" Apache License, this special exception would not include the CyberNeko License, right?

The CyberNeko license is an Apache-style license. In other words, the wording is exactly the same but the project is not associated with the Apache Software Foundation. So you can use NekoHTML with the same freedom that you use Apache-based software.
Apache license or Cyberneko license?
Which is it? The Apache license or the Cyberneko license? My GPL project with special exception for the Apache license can't use the Cyberneko license, right?
