I suspect this is a leftover of when HCat included Hive's code, since Hive explicitly includes some JSON jars. Based on a quick but not complete perusal I couldn't find any jars that HCat downloads that use the JSON license. All of the code in HCat itself is covered by the Apache license. The licenses in LICENSE.txt cover jars that are required to build or run HCat.
