--- Comment #2 from Iain Arnell iarnell@gmail.com 2010-10-04 11:37:39 EDT --- It looks like Ian Burrell had similar concerns about the license for KinoSearch (from which KinoSearch1 has been forked). The perl KinoSearch distribution is all original code under "the same terms as perl itself", but is loosely based on Lucene (which is ASL 2.0). I'll copy the relevant clarification from perl-KinoSearch spec.
As for vendor/core, I think that could use some discussion on the mailing list. I know it's just a matter of labelling at the minute, but if we do need to split core and vendor again for some reason, it will be a lot easier if we still have the vendor macros in the specs.
