100% correct.

I believe that supporting integration with widest range of software is the
best way of promoting Turbine use.

I hope this can be sorted out somehow. Someone asked the author
of Lucene about licensing issues on the mailing list a month ago,
but no aswer arrived.
(see http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/2624/2000/4/0/3646428/)
Would it be possible to make a generic search engine interface in
Turbine, and write a wrapper around Lucene, for plugging it in?
The wrapper would be covered by GPL, and Turbine wouldn't be
influenced. Am I thinking right?
