[jira] [Created] (SM-3222) ServiceMix should not use non-free json.org

Krzysztof Sobkowiak created SM-3222:
---------------------------------------

             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 (https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/jsonevil)
