Doing this effectively means it isn't likely to ever come back to
Solr. If it did, it would likely have to go through Software Grant/
Incubation, since they are allowing people to contribute pretty freely
via git. I personally don't care either way, but people should be
aware of the implications.
I also personally don't know what it means to have something be
licensed 3 different ways. Why not just make it public domain? I was
under the impression GNU doesn't think the ASL is compatible, but
maybe that has changed. At any rate, I don't want to start a
licensing debate.
So, if the two people responsible for putting the code in (Ryan and
Matthias) are +1, then so am I. I personally don't see myself ever
working to maintain it, but who knows.

I don't think solrjs should hold up the 1.4 release.
Since this issue was last discussed, James McKinney has licensed
AJAX Solr (a solrjs fork) under Apache & MIT
http://github.com/evolvingweb/AJAX-Solr/blob/master/COPYRIGHT.txt
It seems like this has good support and gets the on-going attention
it deserves.
I suggest we archive solrjs -- remove it from the 1.4 release -- and
point javascript client lovers to AJAX-Solr.
If we do "archive" solrjs, what do you think the best method is?
1. svn copy it to /sandbox?
2. make a zip and place it on an external site, remove it entirely
from solr svn
I lean towards option 1.
