I highly doubt there are licensing issues involved with reading another
program's open-format files. If you were reversing a binary index there
could be a DMCA-type angle on it, but Lucene is a published standard (I
believe). Think of how many programs there are to read Apple's iTunes
databases.
However that said, Flock is a for-profit company with VC funding, so
caution could be advisable.
