Third-Party Licenses

Required Libraries

No external libraries are required to compile LingPipe:

Optional Build and Testing Libraries

LingPipe employs the following libraries for build automation and testing. They are not required to compile or to use LingPipe.

• JUnit    [ Common Public License ]
  Junit is a unit-test framework used for testing LingPipe.
• Apache Ant    [ Apache License ]
  Ant is an XML-based build (make) tool.

Optional Demo Libraries

Some of our demos import external libraries. None of them are required to run LingPipe itself. Here's a listing of relevant libraries and licenses.

• NekoHTML    [ CyberNeko License ]
  Parses HTML documents producing SAX events. Depends on the Apache Xerces J libraries (see above).
• Apache Lucene    [ Apache License ]
  Full text indexing and search engine.
• Luke    [ Apache License ]
  Luke provides a GUI visualizer for Lucene indexes and search.
• International Components for Unicode    [ X License ]
  ICU provides a comprehensive package for unicode handling.
• MySQL    [ MySQL Open Source License ]
  We use MySQL for a database demo. Because the MySQL license is basically the Gnu General Public License (GPL) we do not distribute it with LingPipe.
