This is not a fact (at least on current lxr).
From the INSTALL file:
4) For freetext searching, either Glimpse
(http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu) or
Swish-e (http://swish-e.org). You need the development version of
swish-e (i.e. 2.1.x or later).
Swish-e is fully GPL'ed, while Glimpse is only free for
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
non-commercial use.
I remind everyone that:
Free Software != proprietary software &&
comercial != proprietary
Please reconsider swish-e...
