--------------------------------------------
Hi [~gagravarr],
bq. However, it's also a rather odd choice for a software license, so it might
be worth you contacting the authors of the library to see if they might be
willing to re-license or dual license
I'm in the process of doing this right now. I'm also looking for preferably
ASLv2.0 licensed 3rd party parsers for .ifc models, there are a few out there
so we may be in luck. Thanks for wiki link anyway I didn't realize that it
existed.

> The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) [0] data model is intended to describe
> building and construction industry data. For the sake of argument, it can be
> considered as a more intelligent successor to the .dwg data models used
> within CAD models.
> I've tracked down a potential 3rd party library [1] which we maybe able to
> wrap and use within Tika however the provided software packages are licensed
> under: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/de/ so I am currently
> over on legal-discuss@ in an attempt to see if it is possible to wrap some
> code and contribute it to tika-parsers.
> When I get feedback from legal-discuss, and if this is a go-ahead, I'll need
> to help the developers package the code as a Maven artifact(s), then I will
> progress with writing the implementation.
