I've just now changed the licensing of AJAX Solr to just be ASL, as
tri-licensing was confusing.
If I were to distribute the code on drupal.org, it would have to be
GPL, but
drupal.org prohibits distribution of code that is available
elsewhere, so I
can't distribute it there, and so don't need to make it GPL after all.
So, we've come full circle... At any rate, good luck!

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.
