Bertrand Delacretaz commented on TIKA-6:
----------------------------------------
Chris suggests (on the dev list):
> ...I propose
> that we remove the file freedesktop.org.xml, and then rename the DTD file
> from freedesktop.org.dtd to mime.types.dtd....
If that DTD file was part of the freedesktop package, this would not be ok
IMHO, as the whole package is covered by the GPL license.
OTOH, if the DTD was "independently created", reusing the same data model for
our mime-type database is probably ok (do we want to confirm this?)
Sorry to be picky about that, but there were some interesting discussions about
similar cases at the ASF recently [1], and I much prefer to write code than
having to handle stuff like this ;-)

> This patch will contribute a MimeType detection system for Tika, including
> MImeType data structure, and associated content-detection facilities. This
> will be based on Nutch's MimeType system as a baseline, however, I'm open to
> suggestions. Jerome Charron mentioned that he had an implementation of a
> MimeType system based on FreeDesktop.org's system. We should look into this
> as well.
