Michael, The inability to redistribute training data is a current problem with retraining and improving models:
https://cwiki.apache.org/OPENNLP/opennlp-annotations.html Also, see this discussion about "OpenNLP Annotations Proposal" on the opennlp-dev list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-opennlp-dev/201106.mbox/thread It might take a little while to get this going, but we're all very keen to make progress on it!
