-----------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that {{json-lib}} was likely derived from the JSON library that
has the non-free license. So it may be incorrectly licensed as an
Apache-licensed (ALv2) dependency. Since the JSON license was reclassified by
ASF legal, no project can release code that takes it as a dependency. I filed
LEGAL-349 to get an official opinion, but most likely the Aliyun SDK will need
to shed this dependency before we can release it from any branch, including
3.0.0.
Douglas Crockford has been told that the joke in his license is harming open
source developers, and he doesn't care. Can you look into replacing
{{json-lib}} with another library?
