Hi Otis,
Sorry for interrupting the process of the book you are putting together :S But I just feel something needs to be done to make sure that the .NET port of Lucene is as open an available for all of us as is Lucene itself.
Hmm, maybe the Lucene.NET guys are counting on the same action from Microsoft as what happened to Lookout ;) The acquisition is a great thing for the Lookout guys, but I don't think MS can bypass the Apache License of Lucene (I guess). If you can't beat them, ...
We hope to have things cleared out as fast as possible on the .NET port.

Hm, hm, hm, hm. And we just copy-edited the Lucene Ports chapter, where we cover Lucene.Net. Now what? :)
I wonder if this is related to Microsoft's purchase of Lookout, which uses Lucene.Net. I also wonder whether the licence allows this...
