Description

Based on question in Slack, it sounds like somebody needs to take a look at our LICENSE and NOTICE files for both Lucene and Solr to make sure that we are including the right things (and only what is necessary).

For reference: http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#overview-of-files
