Hi,

We did ask Jens to move the code to LGPL which he did by commiting the 
licence change himself
as you can see here
http://svn.forge.objectweb.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xwiki/xwiki-plugins/trunk/lucene/LICENSE.txt?view=auto&rev=1432

Maybe the code we commited in XWiki was based in the previous files that 
did not have the licence changes
