[jira] [Commented] (ARTEMIS-565) Artemis use no free json.org
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-565?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15381567#comment-15381567 ]
ASF GitHub Bot commented on ARTEMIS-565:
----------------------------------------
GitHub user johnament opened a pull request:
https://github.com/apache/activemq-artemis/pull/640
ARTEMIS-565 Replace json.org with javax.json
Javax.json is a newer JSR, but has an ASF compliant version, is pretty close to the original JSON.org API and will support a standard annotation based JSON-B solution at some point soon.
This is for discussion purposes only at this point.

> Key: ARTEMIS-565

> Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Linux all
> Reporter: gil cattaneo
>
> Hi,
> Fedora [1] is a popular distribution of the Linux operating system, and
> we wish to include the latest version of ActiveMQ Artemis [2] in our OS.
> Fedora only contains Free and Open Source licensed works.
> Your project is licensed under Apache License Version 2,
> but your code pulls in code from json.org under Douglas Crockford’s bad licence [3], and is non-free [4].
> Such usage restriction makes the license incompatible with The Open Source Definition and
> The Free Software Definition. 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.
