I tend to agree. We use Lucene to power the search in our=
 products, and I've no 
problem appearing in the Powered page, but including the logo on=
 our website 
and/or search result pages just to promote Lucene (via the=
 Powered By) is a 
different matter (at least from a marketing/branding=
 standpoint).

However, the only challenge of this approach is managing it. When=
 the logo 
appears on search results page, it shows that the company=
 "officially endorses" 
Lucene's usage. Without it, I can foresee possible problems of=
 management 
denying their product uses any open-source software, that the=
 developer who 
sent the information to the list did not have authorization to do=
 so, yadda 
yadda ad nauseum.
