Steve Loughran commented on SPARK-18262: ---------------------------------------- ~tdunning has done a mostly-compatible org.json replacement JAR, see HADOOP-13794. If org.json can't be pulled, and there's a lib using a non-shaded dependency, this should be able to act as a replacement > JSON.org license is now CatX > ---------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-18262 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18262 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sean Busbey > Assignee: Sean Owen > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 2.1.0 > > > per [update resolved legal|http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#json]: > {quote} > CAN APACHE PRODUCTS INCLUDE WORKS LICENSED UNDER THE JSON LICENSE? > No. As of 2016-11-03 this has been moved to the 'Category X' license list. > Prior to this, use of the JSON Java library was allowed.
