Hi Matt,
Yes, you're right, they are available as separately licensed downloads.
Only the stand-alone "Serving Layer" is needed for the Entity Suggester.
It's licensed under Apache v. 2.0. Since I'm using the software as-is,
without any code modifications, I suppose it's compatible with what
Wikidata would allow?
Given the amount of data in the data dump, we won't be needing to use a
Hadoop cluster with multiple machines. The proprietary "Computation Layer"
is only needed for heavy-weight distributed processing.
Cheers,
Nilesh

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a prototype for the Wikidata Entity Suggester (Bug
#46555<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46555>).
As of now, it is a command-line client, completely written in Java, that
fetches recommendations from a Myrrix server layer.
Is all the Myrrix code you're using open source? It looks like only the
"Serving Layer" is, but they also have a proprietary "Computation
Layer".
