Steven Parkes commented on LUCENE-740:
--------------------------------------
I don't see that "redistribution in binary form" makes any difference as far as
the BSD license is concerned. The only difference between source and binary by
BSD is the condition that the license terms be included in the docs as opposed
to the sources.
It looks like an explicit ASF policy on 3party inclusion is in the
works:http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html but at this point it's only
a proposal.
If that, or something close to it becomes policy, It doesn't look like the
snowball stuff poses any problem: the BSD is a Category A (good) license.
At some point it looks like the policy will require highlighting the fact that
inclusion of the snowball stuff makes the affected distributions
"multi-licensed", but that doesn't look terribly onerous.
I've added a patch with a copy of the BSD license suitably modified (they only
reference the BSD license in the snowball materials) and I've added a few lines
to NOTICE.txt as seems to be required(?):
