Something like: If you build a statistical model over a corpus with
license A, does that mean that also the statistical model must confirm
to license A? As far as I know some the sources used to build the
OpenNLP models are for noncommercial use only. Olivier should be able
to provide more details.

Reto was asking if we could add them to the SVN. This would be a
problem. Hosting them on an IKS project server is possible.
