---------------------------------------
Summary: ServiceMix should not use non-free json.org
Key: SM-3222
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SM-3222
Project: ServiceMix
Issue Type: Task
Components: features
Reporter: Krzysztof Sobkowiak
Fix For: 6.1.4, 7.0.1, 7.1.0
The json.org version of the BSD license is problematic because it imposes
constraints on the downstream consumer by including a constraint on field of
endeavor that the software "not be used for evil". Debian and Google, for
instance, won't consume anything with this license:
* https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/jsonevil
* https://www.cnet.com/news/dont-be-evil-google-spurns-no-evil-software/
The json license has been moved to category X. We should replace the usage of
this library by other implementation which is compliant with Apache license
