      <h1>Choosing a software package</h1>
      <p>Saxon is distributed in three packages: Saxon-HE, Saxon-PE, and Saxon-EE, 
each of which is available for both the Java and .NET platforms. Saxon-HE is available under an open-source
license (specifically, the Mozilla Public License), and all its features are available to all users. Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE are commercial products and 
require activation by a license key.</p>
      <p>There are also restricted licenses that work with Saxon-EE but restrict its capability:</p>
      <ul>
         <li content="para">
            <p>The EET license provides schema validation and schema-aware XSLT transformation only (no XQuery)</p>
         </li>
         <li content="para">
            <p>The EEQ license provides schema validation and schema-aware XQuery only (no XSLT)</p>
         </li>
         <li content="para">
            <p>The EEV license provides schema validation only (no XQuery or XSLT)</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
