+Correct. It is all either original code or derived code, and all licensed
+under GPL or Artistic. I've been quite conscientious about never copying and
+pasting anything directly from Lucene, including documentation and comments.

+
+That's correct, as per ASL 2.0 section 4.1.

+
+IANAL but...
+
+I think so. I've always assumed that derivations/redistributions of
+derivations still need to maintain compatibility with the license terms of the
+original -- otherwise the original author would quickly lose control of their
+work. It seems to me that you need to determine whether the GPLv3 your
+derivative work will be distributed under is compatible with both the
+KinoSearch license terms (which it obviously is) and the Lucene license terms
+-- which ought to be the case so long as you include that file and the
+existing notice embedded in the KinoSearch documentation.
+
+Best,
