Big worry for code like this is to make sure the licencing etc is okay. As even the cvs-sandbox is published code, making sure that the ASF are not taking over ownership of code without permission is important.
These seem okay. Nysiis and DoubleMetaphone are names of algorithms and not trademarked terms. The Nysiis code was originally a perl module [ie) artistic licence I assume, which I'm pretty sure allows copying to an ASF licence]. DoubleMetaphone is a port from C++ code which was originally published in C/C++ Users Journal. If anyone thinks the licencing of these should be a worry, feel free to pipe up.
