Yuming Wang commented on SPARK-18262:
-------------------------------------

[~srowen] I'm not sure do we need exclude {{org.json#json}} from [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/hive/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/hive/client/package.scala|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/hive/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/hive/client/package.scala#L20]

Run {{HiveSparkSubmitSuite}} to reproduce::
{code:java}
HiveSparkSubmitSuite.test("SPARK-8020: set sql conf in spark conf") {
  val unusedJar = TestUtils.createJarWithClasses(Seq.empty)
  val args = Seq(
    "--class", SparkSQLConfTest.getClass.getName.stripSuffix("$"),
    "--name", "SparkSQLConfTest",
    "--master", "local-cluster[2,1,1024]",
    "--conf", "spark.ui.enabled=false",
    "--conf", "spark.master.rest.enabled=false",
    "--conf", "spark.sql.hive.metastore.version=0.12",
    "--conf", "spark.sql.hive.metastore.jars=maven",
    "--driver-java-options", "-Dderby.system.durability=test",
    unusedJar.toString)
  runSparkSubmit(args)
}

> 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. See Debian's page for a list of alternatives.
> {quote}
> I'm not actually clear if Spark is using one of the JSON.org licensed libraries. As of current master (dc4c6009) the java library gets called out in the [NOTICE file for our source repo|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/dc4c60098641cf64007e2f0e36378f000ad5f6b1/NOTICE#L424] but:
> 1) It doesn't say where in the source
> 2) the given url is 404 (http://www.json.org/java/index.html)
> 3) It doesn't actually say in the NOTICE what license the inclusion is under
> 4) the JSON.org license for the java {{org.json:json}} artifact (what the blurb in #2 is usually referring to) doesn't show up in our LICENSE file, nor in the {{licenses/}} directory
> 5) I don't see a direct reference to the {{org.json:json}} artifact in our poms.
> So maybe it's just coming in transitively and we can exclude it / ping whoever is bringing it in?
