Hi Balog,
first of all, thanks, I think it's a cool idea!
In regards to giving it to the Apache Software Foundation, it works as a
donation:
you assign a permissive license (Apache) and contribute it as a Lucene
module (most likely, like it happened with Luke) or a separate project
(unlikely to deserve a separate one as Luke has been donated itself to
Lucene).
This won't happen automatically, you'll need to <convince> a Lucene
committer it's good code and a good idea and have it merged one day.
You won't get any money, but if you continue contributing, you may become
an Apache Lucene committer one day.
Also, that won't give you any money, it's rather the opposite, it's
volunteering work.
Given that, there are other ways of making money out of a contribution:
- a company becomes interested in such a contribution and pays you to
maintain it
- companies start using that part of Lucene and ask the creator to do some
consulting
As a personal recommendation, If you are a freelancer and need money I
wouldn't suggest pursuing this activity as a quick revenue channel (because
it's unlikely you'll see any money anytime soon), do it if you want to
donate and benefit the broader community (i.e. you get the money from other
projects)
Hope it helps,
Cheers
