Jan Dornseifer commented on LUCENE-10615:
-----------------------------------------
[~rcmuir] thanks for taking the time. I don't want the Lucene team to add
unnecessary stuff to NOTICE.txt but in my opinion this is sensitive
information. My intent was more of a question, as I cannot verify this
information (dead link) and do not know under what terms this contribution was
made. Because we, as the users, have to comply.
[~dweiss] thanks. Yes, I checked the source code before creating the issue and
found this information, too. This is where my thoughts came from, that the
other information from the NOTICE file may be outdated. However, this part only
refers to the dictionary data. I see, the source code files of the package
itself contain the Apache-2.0 header, so my thoughts now are the following:
The source code of the org/apache/lucene/analysis/cn/smart package is licensed
under Apache-2.0 and
(either the code was contributed by Xiaoping Gao and copyright
[www.imdict.net|http://www.imdict.net/]
or this information from the NOTICE.txt is outdated and the copyright of the
code is Apache Software Foundation).
Additionally, dictionary data is copyright ICTCLAS and also licensed under
Apache-2.0.
Can either one or the other be confirmed?
Licensing issues are always annoying and I am not a lawyer, but we as users
depend on this information being complete to stay out of trouble. Hence my
question.
