Hi, I cannot find the original mail now (I think it was sent by Bertrand Delacretaz two years ago) but json.org's licence is not ASL2 compatible. For that reason several Apache projects (Apache Wicket one of them) had to migrate to something else. Wicket choose https://github.com/tdunning/open-json and then improved it to https://github.com/openjson/openjson. The APIs are almost identical to make the transition easier.
