open source

So open source was suggested by Rafael, however he wanted me to find out how Dan would feel about it. The open source projects that we would look into are:

• Spring
• Hibernate
• Lucene

One issue was if i modify that where does the code go, can it be used by uni and Vision Bytes. The specifics of this would depend on the license. Initally Dan is fine 'in principle' with using open source, so thats good, the nitty gritty will still be worked out.
