Hi Yonik and Mike, No problem regarding my employer. I've checked and they are happy to contribute it. I'm not sure what to do about the KStem code though. It was originally written by Bob Krovetz and then modified for Lucene by Sergio Guzman-Lara (both from UMASS Amherst). I modified the Guzman version for Solr. Perhaps I should contribute only what I modified, with instructions for making it work?

Unfortunately, we can't include it in Solr unless the necessary legal hurdles are cleared. An issue needs to be opened on http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ SOLR and you have to attach the file and check the "Grant License to ASF" button. It is also important to verify that you have the legal right to grant the code to ASF (since it is probably your employer's intellectual property). Legal issues are a hassle, but are unavoidable, I'm afraid. Thanks again, -Mike On 10-Sep-07, at 10:22 AM, Wagner,Harry wrote: > Hi Yonik, > The modified KStemmer source is attached.
