Because ActiveMQ Artemis binary distribution > includes this software, > it effectively becomes proprietary software itself. > You may also comment that the json.org license is valid for You [5] but for > many Linux distributions it is not acceptable. > Hoping in the future to be able to use ActiveMQ Artemis in Fedora, without > having to run into this problem. > Please try to replace it with one of the many free alternatives. > Regards > [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki > [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1343063 > [3] > ./artemis-core-client/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/artemis/utils/json/JSONArray.java > ./artemis-core-client/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/artemis/utils/json/JSONException.java > ./artemis-core-client/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/artemis/utils/json/JSONObject.java > ./artemis-core-client/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/artemis/utils/json/JSONString.java > ./artemis-core-client/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/artemis/utils/json/JSONTokener.java > [4] > https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/jsonevil > http://www.sonatype.com/people/2012/03/use-json-well-youd-better-not-be-evil/ > http://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article46/json-license > [5] http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#json -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
