The license is share alike 3.0, the reasons we need advice is because we
are using modified/derived version (the clause in the legal FAQ starts
"Unmodified media..."). Specifically, we built a lucene index with 5000
wikipedia articles relating to medicine. Each article is modified by
reducing it to list of words and their counts in that article. Is there
some advice on whether this sort of modification is allowable or whether
it disqualifies?

Hello,
it depends on which CA license the material is licensed under.
The legal FAQ clarifies it for some of them:
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
For Creative Commons Share Alike 2.5/3.0 it says:
"Unmodified media under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike
2.5 and
Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 licenses may be included
in Apache products, subject to the licenses attribution clauses which
may require LICENSE/NOTICE/README changes. ...."
Is that the license wikipedia is licensed under?

Hi,
We would like to check in some derived features/models from Wikipedia
into the src code base and would like to double check - are Creative
Commons Licenses compatible with ASL 2.0?

We couldn't find it in the approved 3rd party list:

Subject: checking in wiki
Hi team,
I'm just about ready to check in the wikipedia small index and the
new coref features and models that take advantage of them, and I want
to verify what changes we need to make to the license/notice to allow
this in the next release. The NOTICE section has the dependent
software included -- is it sufficient to add something like this:
This product includes contents adapted from the English-language
Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org) developed under the Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).
Thanks
Tim
