I think I would let things shake out a little bit with the change to a
new license. IANAL, but I think I would at least wait for a
release. It does seem to make sense, though.
Personally, though, I really like Tika's SAX model for extraction and
the, um, lack of RDF.
2 more cents...

This is definitely a good news. Besides very good parsers, Aperture
also has strong support for mime type. I know we also have support
for detecting mime types but at some point and time we may consider
using theirs and focus solely on writing Parsers?
One problem though is that parsers return RDF data, which is fine
but seems to be more heavyweight than one would like
just my 2 cents,

Hi,
The Aperture project (http://aperture.sourceforge.net/) has
relicensed
all their code to the BSD license, see
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=891966.
They probably have some code that we could reuse, and perhaps we also
have some valuable bits to contribute to them. The BSD license is
better in line with the Apache License than the OSL 3.0 they used
before, so we're in a much better position for reusing their code
now.
BR,
