That's not Lucy code until it's being developed in Lucy. And without Lucy code it's pretty pointless to have a Lucy project. > The vast majority of the work is done in the C portion of the code, > and my understanding is that once this separation is complete and > the API is more final, the C codebase will be renamed Lucy. Any larger externally developed codebase can only be imported to Apache through incubation or a software grant, and the software grant can only be used if there exists an active community that wants to take over the development of that code. The latter is not true (there is no active community) at the moment in Lucy, so at this point any code from KinoSearch would need to go through full incubation. This is which is why I suggested the idea of KinoSearch being brought to the Incubator. BR, Jukka Zitting
