You seem to be confused here.

1) Elastic never forked Lucene.

2) Elasticsearch is not a competitor to Lucene.

3) Elastic developers are PMC members and committers for the Lucene project.

Even Amazon did not fork ES, till they were explicitly blocked. If Lucene changes it license to GPL, elatic will need to fork it.
