[jira] Commented: (TIKA-8) Remove dependency to GPL'd jmimeinfo

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-8?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12520641 ] 

Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-8:
--------------------------------------

Jukka,

 +1 for this. I have code from Jerome Charron that implements a fairly robust MimeType repository based on Freedesktop.org. Sorry I've been out of the loop recently -- I will step back up the effort on TIKA-6. Thanks for keeping the momentum rollin'.

Cheers,
  Chris

> The Lius Lite code from TIKA-7 (most notably the org.apache.tika.utils.MimeTypeUtils class) depends on the jmimeinfo library [1] by Andy Hedges. Unfortunately jmimeinfo is GPL software, so we can't depend on it. I will remove the dependency and hope that TIKA-6 or another similar effort will come up with a good replacement.
