> The jackrabbit-server module has a dependency on  org.textmining:tm-extractors:jar:0.4, and while working on the NOTICE files I realized that version 1.0 of that software has an LGPL license, which we're not allowed to redistribute.
> The release notes at http://code.google.com/p/text-mining/source/browse/trunk/ReleaseNotes.txt?r=2 indicate that the change to LGPL occured in version 1.0, so it is very probable that the 0.4 version that we're using is under the BSD-like textmining license found at http://www.searchblox.com/TEXT_MINING_license.html, reproduced below.
> I'll try to contact Ryan Ackley, who seems to be the main or only author, to clarify that.
