Jörn,
Today Benson wrote the following in this post to incubator

"I fear that cTakes needs to have an interaction with LEGAL to adopt the
SpamAssassin model, since, from a strict constructionist perspective, the source of the
models is precisely what you cannot release."
Is he just unaware of some discussion you already had with LEGAL for OpenNLP -
I ask because in the discussion below you indicated it would be OK to release
models at Apache without releasing the data the models were built from. Is
there some previous post we can point to or should I open a discussion with
LEGAL about cTAKES models
I was under the assumption that it is ok the just release the model and
not the training data under AL 2.0 here at Apache,
over at UIMA we had a similar discussion for French POS Tagger
(UIMA-2146). There the concern was that its very cumbersome
to train again on the data, but not that it can't be released.
To circumvent this particular issue it should be possible to release the
models outside of Apache and then just redistribute
them as class A dependency in the cTAKES binary distribution.
