Description

My company would like to use Tika, but some of the libraries Tika includes may not be compatible with our licensing. We notice that the source build creates 6 different binary JAR files, but only 3 of them are available for download (the 2 largest ones with the most extra baggage we don't need, and a test tool we don't need either). For various legal reasons, we can't create our own JAR files from source; we have to use the officially built ones from Apache. Could the smaller binary JAR files (tika-core and tika-parsers) be made available for download?
