Lewis John McGibbney commented on TIKA-1220: -------------------------------------------- Hi [~gagravarr], bq. However, it's also a rather odd choice for a software license, so it might be worth you contacting the authors of the library to see if they might be willing to re-license or dual license I'm in the process of doing this right now. I'm also looking for preferably ASLv2.0 licensed 3rd party parsers for .ifc models, there are a few out there so we may be in luck. Thanks for wiki link anyway I didn't realize that it existed. > Parser implementration for IFC files > ------------------------------------ > > Key: TIKA-1220 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1220 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: parser > Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.5 > > Attachments: 2012-03-23-Duplex-Programming.ifc > > > The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) [0] data model is intended to describe > building and construction industry data.
