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?
It's not about asking nicely - the ASF's policy is that no (L)GPL code
is allowed in the respositories, and for good reasons. The only thing
they/we could do would be to ask nicely to re-license it under ASL.
