Rupert Westenthaler resolved STANBOL-1044.
------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem
      Assignee: Rupert Westenthaler

Apache Stanbol does only transitively depend on org.json via the Apache Felix Webconsole.

The org.json module is not part of the stanbol parent pom.xml and also not in any other sub modules pom.

To make make the transitive dependency to org.json more clear the dependency was moved to the osgiframework bundlelist with http://svn.apache.org/r1469770

> The org.json library is considered "discriminatory", because its license clause states that the software "may not be used for evil". While the ASF for the moment still accepts its use (see legal FAQ), it is still discouraged because it might cause problems for end users. The org.json library use should therefore be replaced by Jackson.
