Just to be clear, we are talking about two different Lucid Imagination products.
The Certified Distribution is a repackaging of the public Solr releases with various add-on goodies that Lucid and others have written over the years. This is the "drop-in replacement" for the Apache release of Solr. LucidWorks is a commercial product with a free download for developers. LucidWorks has a core server and an external Ruby-based UI.
