Looks like they acknowledge building on local solr and local lucene to me: """SSP started out its life as a patch for Solr Spatial Search (Solr-773) and Spatial Lucene (Lucene-1732) and extends Solr and Lucene with hereunto missing geodetic search functions (bounding boxes etc) while improving on the speed of the result and performance when dealing with a large data set through better query parsing and multi-threaded filtering. Also included are improved extensibility and documentation.""" And in a way, they do "own" their plugin - their customizations, packaging, etc (note: I haven't looked at it). And they offer support for it - which might be attractive to some companies that need supported geosearch now. It's also open source under the Apache license, so presumably we could borrow anything we want from it. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
