Hi Matt, Yes, you're right, they are available as separately licensed downloads. Only the stand-alone "Serving Layer" is needed for the Entity Suggester. It's licensed under Apache v. 2.0. Since I'm using the software as-is, without any code modifications, I suppose it's compatible with what Wikidata would allow?
Given the amount of data in the data dump, we won't be needing to use a Hadoop cluster with multiple machines. The proprietary "Computation Layer" is only needed for heavy-weight distributed processing.
