I wrote a Analyzer for apache lucene for analyzing sentences in
Chinese language, it's called imdict-chinese-analyzer as it is a
subproject of <http://www.imdict.net/>imdict, which is an
intelligent online dictionary.
The project on google code is here:
<http://code.google.com/p/imdict-chinese-analyzer/>http://code.google.com/p/imdict-chinese-analyzer/
I took a quick look, but didn't see any code posted there yet.
[snip]
This Analyzer contains two packages, the source code and the lexical
dictionary. I want to publish the source code using Apache license,
but the dictionary which is under an ambigus license was not create
by me.
So, can I only submit the source code to lucene contribution
repository, and let the users download the dictionary from the
google code site?
I believe your code can be a contrib, with a reference to the
dictionary. So a first step would be to open an issue in Lucene's
Jira (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE), and post your
source as a patch.
The best way to get the right answer to the legal issue is to post it
to the legal-disc...@apache.org list (join it first), as Apache's
lawyers can then respond to your specific question.
