Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3795:
-------------------------------------
Simon do we really need a code grant here?
Its my understanding (correct me if i am wrong): the developers involved
(David, Ryan, Chris) are all committers
with iCLA on file, so is it really any different than any other patch from that
perspective?
As far as LGPL, according to David's description and the title of this jira
issue (possible i did not interpret it correctly,
correct me if so), the he wants to replace lucene/contrib/spatial with the
spatial-lucene project, and that
it has no LGPL ties at all, (only spatial-extras does).
Without looking at any code myself, if thats really the case I'm +1 on
principle because it means we basically
have an improved spatial module for lucene core with no catch at all. The
current code has not seen much maintenance.
(And i agree, we should be shooting for a proper module/ here, not a contrib).

>
> I propose that Lucene's spatial contrib module be replaced with the
> spatial-lucene module within Lucene Spatial Playground (LSP). LSP has been
> in development for approximately 1 year by David Smiley, Ryan McKinley, and
> Chris Male and we feel it is ready. LSP is here:
> http://code.google.com/p/lucene-spatial-playground/ and the spatial-lucene
> module is intuitively in svn/trunk/spatial-lucene/.
> I'll add more comments to prevent the issue description from being too long.
