I believe the only dictionaries shipped with Apache cTAKES in lucene indexes 
contain just the Orange Book,  RxNorm, and some made-up terms, not SNOMED-CT or 
the other sources taken from UMLS. If that is not correct, then I agree there 
is a problem with what is being shipped in lucene indexes.

ctakes-ytex-lib-3.1.2-SNAPSHOT.zip
<https://ytex.googlecode.com/files/ctakes-ytex-lib-3.1.2-SNAPSHOT.zip> -
this contains non-asf compliant ytex libs.  I would like to add it to the
sourceforge site / or add it to the ctakes resources directly (that way
users simply have to unzip a single zip file)

ctakes-ytex-resources-3.1.2-SNAPSHOT.zip
<http://www.ytex-nlp.org/umls.download/secure/3.1/ctakes-ytex-resources-3.1.2-SNAPSHOT.zip>
-
this contains data derived from the UMLS - concept graphs and dictionary
lookup tables.  downloading this requires a UTS login.  It is conceptually
no different from the ctakes resources, so I believe it would be OK to add
it to that zip file, but I'm not a lawyer.

On another note: I think forcing users to specify the UTS username/password
and contacting NIH every time you run cTAKES is problematic, and doesn't
prevent users who don't have a valid UTS login from viewing the data
contained in the lucene index dictionary.  I personally believe requiring a
UTS login to download would be the best way to make resources derived from
the UMLS available to users (this is what I'm doing for ytex-resources).

to summarize: for now, I would like to add the ytex libs to the ctakes
resources zip.
