I think that "success" would need to be determined first. Xapian might 
encourage more free software by remaining GPL, which might be a greater 
success than allowing (potentially) more use but no contributions back, and 
having it "hidden" inside something that makes money for other people but not 
for Olly.

Its a matter of perspective.
