Rupert Westenthaler commented on STANBOL-445:
---------------------------------------------
It is simple not true that this lib does not use a license. Every single source
file within the source archive downloadable from [1] states the following
license
Java API for WordNet Searching 1.0

This looks rather compatible to the Apache License, 2.0 for me, but someone
with real knowledge in such matters should conform this.
