[Lucene.Net] Asking about Lucene.net License
Hi this is Asha Kang from Korea.
the reason i`m writing this email is that I`d like to make sure which
license Lucene.net is following.
Now I`m developing Search Engine by using Lucene.net.
As I know, Lucene.net follows apache licene 2.0.
but my co-woker told me that some classes included in lucene.net`s dll
could follow GPL License.
So now I`m confused.
Are there any classes following GPL LICENSE?
Do I need to follow two license apache license 2.0 and GPL LICENSE?
I'm looking forward to replying from you.
bset regards
Asha Kang.

The answer is no. None of the code within Lucene.Net is GPL. All Apache
products are under the Apache License.

I think he was asking if any of the code within Lucene.Net is GPL.

Asha,
Lucene.net is an Apache Incubator project and is only distributed under an
Apache License version 2. If you are using a GPL 3 License then there is
documented compatibility between the licenses as described on the page
http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html. Give this
compatibility you can include Lucene.net in a GPL 3 project. I am not sure
how on all of the mechanics of this inclusion but it can be done.

Asha,
Lucene.net is an Apache Incubator project and is only distributed under an
Apache License version 2. If you are using a GPL 3 License then there is
documented compatibility between the licenses as described on the page
http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html. Give this
compatibility you can include Lucene.net in a GPL 3 project. I am not sure
how on all of the mechanics of this inclusion but it can be done.
