Description

The Infusion Renderer's fast XML pull parser is based on a SAX parser from XML for Script. This code was originally distributed under the LGPL license, but upon request the community granted us a zlib/libpng licensed version. The details are documented here:

http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Licensing+for+fastXmlPull.js

As a result, our modifications are licensed only under the zlib/libpng licensed, and we should not include any references to the LGPL. The source code, fastXmlPull README file, and the overall Infusion README file should be updated to reflect this.

    Two patches--one for the 1.1.x branch and against trunk (hopefully this will apply cleanly in the not-yet-created 1.2.x branch), which fix the licensing and attribution errors in Infusion's fast XML pull parser.

    Applied 1.2.1 patch to update license information.
