I wouldn't say recently, but yes. They did change licenses a while ago *for
new releases* from BCL to CDDL which moved them from Category X to Category B.
So yes, substituting the geronimo jars in MOST cases is no longer necessary.
However, not all of the Sun jars have had a new release with the new License.
That said, may folks would prefer the Apache licensed versions.
That said, you specifically asked about saaj-impl, not saaj-api. Geronimo
doesn't have a saaj-impl. The closest at Apache would likely be in Axis. I
believe they have an saaj-impl based on Axiom someplace. Geronimo does have
an saaj-api I believe.

Well, you'd need to mention the CDDL license for the saaj-impl in the
LICENSE.TXT.
