I've found that Sourceforge is still the only place you can get a lot of good-but-unmaintained software. I was there just the other week for the Saxon project[1], and it was painful to see how low SF have sunk.
I wonder if it would be possible (and legal) for somebody who isn't the project owner to copy some of these unmaintained projects into another system?

- pan69 11y agoI remembered Saxon being an Apache project, but it's not. I must have remembered wrong. Anyhow, it should be an Apache project. http://www.apache.org/#projects-list http://www.apache.org/#projects-list
- guard-of-terra 11y agoXalan is Apache project so there will be redundancy. (I remember they had a dozen Java MVC frameworks 10 years ago tho)
- pan69 11y agoI think I might have things mixed up with Xalan. It's been a long time since I used it...
- inimino 11y agoSaxon has a free version and an "enterprise" version, and the developer also operates a consulting business around it, so it's not a likely candidate for an Apache project.

Just make sure you conform to the licence requirements and you're good to go.
