The zuxml package bundles a copy of the Expat XML parser. Both zuxml and Expat are distributed under the MIT license, but they are held by different copyright holders, listed separately below. zuxml ===== Copyright (c) 2026 Pedro Baltazar Covers everything in the package except src/vendor/. Full text in LICENSE.md; CRAN's YEAR/COPYRIGHT HOLDER form is in LICENSE. Expat (libexpat) ================ Bundled verbatim in src/vendor/expat/. Copyright (c) 1998-2000 Thai Open Source Software Center Ltd and Clark Cooper Copyright (c) 2001-2025 Expat maintainers Full text in src/vendor/expat/COPYING, which is installed as licenses/expat-COPYING; authors in src/vendor/expat/AUTHORS (). An installed zuxml carries Expat compiled into its shared object and into lib${R_ARCH}/libzuxml.a (lib/libzuxml.a on most platforms), and carries Expat's public headers in include/. Upstream is https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat and the pinned release, its checksum and the import date are recorded in src/vendor/PROVENANCE. The bundled files are the upstream release with one local patch, which removes a debug-only write to stderr from xmlparse.c; the patch is listed in src/vendor/PROVENANCE and kept in the source repository as tools/patches/0001-no-stdio-entropy-debug.patch. zuxml adds no other code to that directory: the build configuration Expat would normally generate with autotools or CMake is kept outside it, in the project-owned src/expat_config.h. The script that proves the tree is exactly upstream plus that patch, tools/verify-vendor, is not part of the distributed package; it lives in the source repository at . Additional individually named contributors and copyright holders. Besides the holders above, the bundled source files carry copyright lines, or an AUTHORS entry, naming the following people, and Sony Corporation (with Snild Dolkow). Expat's canonical authors are credited in Authors@R; this more detailed list preserves the source-level copyright record: Rolf Eike Beer Nick Begg Francesco Bertolaccini Thomas Beutlich Alexander Bluhm Atrem Borovik Hanno Böck Darren Carreras James Clark Clark Cooper Pascal Cuoq Owain Davies Snild Dolkow Fred L.
