Lucene is licensed under the Apache license, just as it says in the LICENSE file. junit is used for testing Lucene and is not redistributed with it. Using Lucene in your code does not mean you are using junit, except in some extremely philosophical sense. EG Lucene developers may have developed Lucene using Windows on their laptops - that doesn't mean you need a WIndows license to use Lucene. IANAL, so you should ask yours - I'm sure someone at Cisco can help you sort this out?
