well i suppose we should do this as a last resort. the sen code is pretty nice, its a lot less complex than smartcn for example.
also, if you can't modify the internals (just linking to a lib) you are limited in some regard, like smartcn it looks like this one represents the hmm with an object graph... so when indexing a lot of text there might/will be performance issues that would be tough to tackle with the linking approach. just my opinion On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 8:09 PM, Mark Miller <markrmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Marvin Humphrey wrote: > > On Mon, Nov 09, 2009 at 04:07:55PM -0500, Robert Muir wrote: > > > >> Mark, I think my concern is that Sen itself is LGPL ( > >> https://sen.dev.java.net/). > >> > >> this lucene-ja is just a lucene interface to this LGPL library. > >> > >> I think this dependency might be a problem, but I am not the expert: > >> http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a > >> > > > > I'm not an expert either, but I believe that we can distribute an Apache > > licensed interface to an LGPL library, so long as we do not distribute > the > > library itself and so long as the interface is not a derived work. > > > > If the IP in the interface is entirely original, then the copyright > holder for > > the original library has no claim on it and can't stop the interface > author > > from doing whatever they want with their own material... right? > > > > Marvin Humphrey > > > Yeah, we can distribute an original interface to an LGPL lib.
