I'm not a committer, so I don't know if my vote counts but could you answer a question for me?
Lucene is governed by The Apache Software License, Version 1.1 http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-lucene/LICENSE.txt?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Snowball is governed by The BSD License http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html Can you package the java code generated from snowball into the Lucene core given the legal constraints of the licenses? I'm not a legal expert, but isn't the generated java code from snowball governed by The BSD License? If it is, I'd vote that this code not be rolled into the core lucene jars. My project was orginally going to use the snowball stemmers, we dropped their use for other reasons (to make a long story short, we decided not to do stemming). The ASL was already approved by my legal department so I could redistribute Lucene. I never got around to discussing the snowball stemmers with them since I had dropped their use and removed them from my redistribution.
