<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>
<p>For a full table showing the features available in each edition and licensing variant, see the
