What's the license for tm-extractors before 1.0?

[Bertrand Delacretaz <bd...@apache.org>]

Hi Ryan,

Sorry for emailing directly, I didn't find info on mailing lists or
forums at http://code.google.com/p/text-mining/

I'm a developer on the Apache Sling project [1], and we'd like to
clarify the license of the tm-extractors module.

http://textmining.org/ says that the license was changed to LGPL, but
what was the previous license? Our dependency is on tm-extractors
V0.4, I looked at contents of the jar found at [3] but didn't find
license info.

Can we safely assume that tm-extractors V0.4 is distributed under the
license found at [2]?

Thanks and best regards,

Hi,

(Chiming in as I've already reviewed some of the tm-extractors license history.)

The library is available under ALv2 (see
http://markmail.org/message/nmmyh2rcazhak2nf), and AFAIK the following
is the appropriate attribution notice:

    This software contains code written by Ryan Ackley.
    Please go to http://www.textmining.org for the latest version.

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-91 where I traced the
origin before.

BR,

Ryan just replied to me, that all versions prior to 1.0 were released
under an Apache license.
