I guess sun researche licence relates to the class BitIntegerSet (practically taken from java 6.0 Mustang release and slightly modified). The rest (IntegerSet and TreeIntegerSet) represents unique work and I would bet this part is under LGPL. If somebody with more open-source leverage (e.g. Doug, Apache...) could ask nicely, I beleive nobody would mind to have his work included in Apache project Lucene? ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
