The Lucene/Solr project is licensed under the Apache License, version 2.0. http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#WhatDoesItMEAN The generally accepted way to contribute a bugfix to the project is to find (or create) the appropriate issue in Jira, then attach your patch to it. Ideally you will check out the trunk branch from SVN and create your patch against that with the "svn diff" tool, but the stable branch (branch_4x currently) will do just as well. Just be sure there's enough info accompanying the patch for us to identify the exact branch/revision used to build it. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute There are other methods, like the mailing list, a pull request for the github mirror, etc... but Jira and a patch from SVN are the best way.
