libcolumbus is a library for search that allows Unity and the HUD to still show you relevant results if you misspelled a word. For more details, see Jono's announcement post. [1]
Canonical has a long-standing policy of defaulting to GPL-3 or LGPL-3. libcolumbus is licensed as LGPL-3 which prevents it from being used in several parts of GNOME: specifically, GTK, GNOME Shell and GNOME Software. Now that Canonical has a greater interest in seeing GNOME improve, please consider releasing libcolumbus as LGPL-2 also. I suggested this when libcolumbus was announced, but I didn't follow through hard enough.
