Hi

Solr's contrib/extraction contains jhighlight-1.0.jar which declares itself
as dual CDDL or LGPL license. However, some of its classes are distributed
only under LGPL, e.g.

com.uwyn.jhighlight.highlighter.
  CppHighlighter.java
  GroovyHighlighter.java
  JavaHighlighter.java
  XmlHighlighter.java

I downloaded the sources from Maven (
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/uwyn/jhighlight/1.0/jhighlight-1.0-sources.jar)
to confirm that, and also found this SVN repo:
http://svn.rifers.org/jhighlight/tags/release-1.0, though the project's
website seems to not exist anymore (https://jhighlight.dev.java.net/).

I didn't find any direct usage of it in our code, so I guess it's probably
needed by a 3rd party dependency, such as Tika. Therefore if we e.g. omit
it, things will compile, but may fail at runtime.

Is it OK that we distribute this .jar?
