One last thing on this that came to my mind too. I just want to clarify: we aren't using any "code" from the freedesktop.org shared-mime info system directly. We are simply in TIKA-6, using the freedesktop.org mime db XML file format. The code to parse/interact with that information was written by Jerome and myself entirely under the auspices of our CLAs so IMO it's fair game. Again, just to point out, this is consistent with our Apache projects (e.g., Nutch), where an XML file format (e.g., Eclipse Plugin DTD) is adopted, however the code to read/interact with the data was written specifically for the particular Apache project (as is the case here). Just an FYI. Others are also welcome to chime in. Thanks!
