I tend to agree. We use Lucene to power the search in our products, and I've no problem appearing in the Powered page, but including the logo on our website and/or search result pages just to promote Lucene (via the Powered By) is a different matter (at least from a marketing/branding standpoint). However, the only challenge of this approach is managing it. When the logo appears on search results page, it shows that the company "officially endorses" Lucene's usage. Without it, I can foresee possible problems of management denying their product uses any open-source software, that the developer who sent the information to the list did not have authorization to do so, yadda yadda ad nauseum.
