There are essentially no restrictions for using Solr in a commercial product. Solr is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, which is one of the most permissive open source licenses around. http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html Solr will NOT know what client is using it, unless you provide that information in requests from the client and modify Solr to recognize that information. As shipped from Apache, Solr has absolutely no restrictions on which clients are allowed access. That kind of restriction would go against open source ideals. You can enable certain kinds of access restrictions, like authentication, as long as the client you're using supports what you enable. Thanks, Shawn
