I think he was asking if any of the code within Lucene.Net is GPL.

Asha,

Lucene.net is an Apache Incubator project and is only distributed under an
Apache License version 2.  If you are using a GPL 3 License then there is
documented compatibility between the licenses as described on the page
http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html.  Give this
compatibility you can include Lucene.net in a GPL 3 project.  I am not sure
how on all of the mechanics of this inclusion but it can be done.
