Correct. Any source code commited into the apache subversion repository
would have to be granted to the ASF under the same basic terms that patch
submissions have when you attach them to Jira ("Grant license to ASF for
inclusion in ASF works (as per the Apache License §)5").. which means it
would have to be released under the ASL2 ... if that's not something
your ok with then it just means the source can't be hosted in the apache
subversion repository or distributed in the solr release artifacts -- but
having an OSS PHP client for solr freely available on something like
sf.net (or distributed via whatever the PHP equivilent to CPAN is) would
certainly be of benefit to the (PHP) Solr community.
