XSL Compiled Stylesheets (Saxon SEF)

- Saturday, 26th November 2022

We are protecting the intellectual property rights (IPR) of our Docuneering S1000D Print & Publishing stylesheets by using the Saxon Stylesheet Export File (SEF) method. This means customers receive a single compiled ".SEF" file instead of the individual ".XSL" source files.

While this protects our ".XSL" source from being ripped by an unscrupulous actor, we do recognise this severely limits the amount of customisation a customer can undertake.

It's all about trust!

During the licence ordering process, Docuneering, at its sole discretion, may choose to release the full ".XSL" source files along with the ".SEF", depending on some factors which include but are not limited to:

  • Who is placing the order (company/organisation)
  • Value of the order

While we must protect our IPR, we also recognise a licence request coming from an organisation like nspa.nato.int is not the same as one coming from an anonymous gmail.com account.
