I got an answer from Debian-Legal a moment ago. It says, that Debian can't accept this license as free software. There is still non-free, where org.json could go and then HBase would go into section contrib which is for free software that depends on non-free software. I've opened an issue on this topic in the hbase jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2383 Best regards, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro
