#9> Sorry, we don't accept code contributions and direct you to the original libxml2 project.
This has me puzzled to the point of being dumbfounded: If libxml2-ee has fixed many security and other flaws in libxml2, then what's the point of directing people back to a project that is relatively flawed?

That doesn't change your obligation to reproduce the previous copyright notice as instructed by the licence you got the code under
