Oh...
> Open source?
Yes. Saxon.NET 8.x-B implements the same licensing mechanism that Saxon 8.x-B
implements (the Mozilla Public License Version 1.0) with the simple addition
that any changes or updates to the Saxon.NET source code have been provided by
the x2x2x.org community and to please include a reference to the x2x2x.org
community in any .NET project (commercial or non-commercial) that utilizes the
x2x2x.org implementation of Saxon via Saxon.NET. Saxon.NET 8.x-B is completely
Open-Source just as Saxon 8.x-B from Dr. Michael Kay and Saxonica is Open-Source.
Versions of Saxon.NET-SA will be released according to the licensing guidelines
set forth via Saxonica and will be completely compliant with all versions of the
.NET CLR that adhere to the standards set forth by the ECMA, the governing body
in which Microsoft, Intel, and Hewlett-Packard submitted the Common Language
Infrastructure and C# programming language to for standardization in August of
the year 2000.
More information regarding the Saxon.NET project can be found at
http://www.x2x2x.org/x2x2x/home or at the SourceForge.net project page located
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/saxondotnet/
Hope this helps answers your question!
Best regards,

But let me first preface this with the following... The goal of the
Saxon.NET project is to provide to the .NET community an API that is
100% compliant with that of Dr. Michael Kay's latest Saxon API and
that can be used to implement a XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, and XQuery 1.0
transformation via any language and subsequent compiler that
implements a solution supported by version 1.1+ of the ..NET framework.
I'm not interested in anything MS-specific myself. The whole point of
what I'm doing is to provide alternatives to MS-centric workflows (the
academy is totally dominated by MS, and I'm tired of it). So document
formats I'm interested in are DocBook, TEI, OpenOffice.
If others want to pick this up for integration with Word/WordML, though,
that'd be good, so it's nice to have Saxon.NET as an alternative. I'm
thinking Mike's suggestion of a web service is sounding like the best
medium-term solution, though.
If not now, there will be XSLT 2.0 solutions, via your desired
mechanism, in the months, not years, to come.
Open source?
