>
> The Lucene PMC is discussing removing several features of Apache Solr and allowing various individual contributors to maintain them as non-official plugins. Others may come along after that point and fork the code to make variant plugins, or something else entirely.
> These contributors may not be current committers (and may never be), and some potential forks may choose to put their changes under a non-Apache-friendly license.
> Are there any legal issues we should be concerned about here? Would we be expected to give them a software grant (and if so, what would that look like)?
> We assume they would need to remove the license headers, are there other considerations?
