Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-3773:
------------------------------------------
I have quickly looked at the code. First we only use the JSON serialization
part of the library, that is we are just writing JSON. What we need here is to
probably just be able to create JSON strings from Map and Collection structures
with the added "complication" to care for escaping.
Second, and this is hurting a bit, we have the odd WebConsoleUtil.keyVal method
which depends on org.json.JSONWriter and org.json.JSONException in its
signature. Removing or breaking that method would be a non-backwards compatible
change to the org.apache.felix.webconsole package export ...

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Web Console
> Affects Versions: webconsole-4.0.0
> Reporter: Neil Bartlett
> Priority: Critical
>
> WebConsole uses the JSON library from json.org that contains the following
> term in its licence (http://www.json.org/license.html):
> "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."
> I believe that this restriction is incompatible with the ASL.
