I took a quick look and looks like you did a fair bit of work and have the ASL in the source files. The question, though, is whether your basing it on GPL code is acceptable. Did you copy code from it? We can have no GPL code in Apache's CVS.

Hi all,
I have written a Lucene Analyzer for arabic. You will find it here :
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierrick.brihaye/ArabicAnalyzer.jar (provisional
adress, anybody interested in hosting it ?)
This work is still in beta stage but it gives quite good results :-)
In order to make it work, you need :
1) a 1.4+ JVM (because of the native support for regular expressions which
are heavily used in the program ; I've been too lazy to use an external
package)
2) Apache Jakarta Commons-Collections : http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/collections.html
3) a recent Lucene distribution ;-)
All this work is based on the amazing Tim Buckwalter's Arabic Morphological
Analyzer Version 1.0
(http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/ CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2002L49)
originaly written in Perl and released under the GPL.
The jar contains :
a) the compiled classes
b) the required data files (dictionaries and compatibility tables)
c) 2 command-line test programs
d) 3 test documents with different encodings
e) the source code
f) a README file that will give you a little bit more of information :-)
To Lucene developers : I plan to offer this work to Lucene (see the jar hierarchy... and the source file headers ;-). Any objections ?
Feedback is very welcome : there are quite a lot of unresolved issues, with
the analyzer itselfs as well as with Lucene.
mE AlslAmap, cheers,
