Tim Allison commented on TIKA-874:
----------------------------------
We’d have to ask the author to change the license to something compatible with
ASL 2.0. See: [https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html] . If we
can do that, it should be fairly straightforward to add to Tika.
[~gagravarr]’s questions
([http://grokbase.com/p/tika/dev/12c5nz0zym/contribution-of-parser-for-fits-file-format-to-apache-tika)]
also still apply.

>
> Tika does not have a defined signature for application/fits files. I have
> created a patch (based on file(1) magic) to address identification of such
> files, including a simple unit test.
> This patch only handles identification, not parsing of FITS files.
