Well, but the license seems to be GPL-compatible. The author says it's
similar to the Artistic License (which isn't GPL-compatible in it's
original form, but is compatible in it's revised form[1]). I had a look,
and the xmlrpc_lib license is very short and all parts seem fine.

IANAL. Any other opinions?

True, but I have been using xmlrpc_lib with good results (I just had to add
automatic decoding of base64 values).
