Moving to GPL doesn't seem like a good solution to me, but I don't
know what else to propose. Why don't we just hold it from this
release, but keep it in trunk and encourage the Drupal guys and others
to submit their changes? Perhaps by then Matthias or you or someone
else will have stepped up.
concerning GPL:
The message from the drupal guys is that the code altered that much from
initial solrjs that they think it's legally acceptable to get their new
code out under GPL and "only" mention that it was inspired by the still
existing Apache License solrjs.
Sounds reasonable for me but I have few experience with this kind of
legal issues. So what do you think?

I just discussed this off-line with Matthias. It does not look like
he has the time to give this much attention now. (nor do I)
We agreed that the best steps forward are to:
1. Support the Drupal guys GPL port
2. Archive the solrjs code to solrstuff.org
3. Yank solrjs from apache svn (and 1.4 release)
4. Add links to the drupal code (GPL) and the solrjs archive (Apache)
Does this sound reasonable to everybody?

I talked to the guys reworking the JS library for Drupal at Drupalcon
- they are also having to fork potentially around license as much as
anything else, since they'd like to distribute via drupal.org, which
means they were hoping to get the original author to re-license the
code to them as GPL.

Y'all,
We're down to 8 open issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseVersion.jspa?id=12310230&versionId=12313351&showOpenIssuesOnly=true
2 are packaging related, one is dependent on the official 2.9
release
(so
should be taken care of today or tomorrow I suspect) and then we
have a
few
others.
The only two somewhat major ones are S-1458, S-1294 (more on this
in a
mo') and S-1449.
On S-1294, the SolrJS patch, I yet again have concerns about even
including this, given the lack of activity (from Matthias, the
original
author and others) and the fact that some in the Drupal community
have
already forked this to fix the various bugs in it instead of just
submitting
patches. While I really like the idea of this library (jQuery is
awesome),
I have yet to see interest in the community to maintain it
(unless you
count
someone forking it and fixing the bugs in the fork as
maintenance) and
I'll
be upfront in admitting I have neither the time nor the patience to
debug
Javascript across the gazillions of browsers out there (I don't even
have IE
on my machine unless you count firing up a VM w/ XP on it) in the
wild.
Given what I know of most of the other committers here, I
suspect that
is
true for others too. At a minimum, I think S-1294 should be
pushed to
1.5.
Next up, I think we consider pulling SolrJS from the release, but
keeping
it in trunk and officially releasing it with either 1.5 or 1.4.1,
assuming
its gotten some love in the meantime. If by then it has no love,
I vote
we
remove it and let the fork maintain it and point people there.
