Libxml2, anXML parser and toolkit, is an almost perfect example of the successesand failures of the open-source movement. In the 25 years since itsfirst release, it has been widely adopted by open-source projects, foruse in commercial software, and for government use. It alsoillustrates that while many organizations love using open-source software,far fewer have yet to see value in helping to sustain it. That has ledlibxml2's current maintainer to reject security embargoes and sparkeda discussion about maintenance terms for free and open-sourceprojects.
