I've just now changed the licensing of AJAX Solr to just be ASL, as tri-licensing was confusing. If I were to distribute the code on drupal.org, it would have to be GPL, but drupal.org prohibits distribution of code that is available elsewhere, so I can't distribute it there, and so don't need to make it GPL after all.
