And it looks that usage of Category X license dependencies is not limited to demos/samples. SQL module and few demos use dependency with LGPL v3.0 license:

  - json-schema-core (https://github.com/fge/json-schema-core) com.github.fge:json-schema-core:jar:1.0.2
    License: LGPLv3 or later (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html)
  - json-schema-validator (https://github.com/fge/json-schema-validator) com.github.fge:json-schema-validator:jar:2.0.1
    License: LGPLv3 or later (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html)

It is necessary to upgrade that dependency to 2.2 version that is licensed under Apache as well.

On a separate note, I don't remember that the introduction of this dependency was discussed on dev@apex. Please make sure to bring any new dependency to the attention of the community.

Thank you,

While demos and documentation are considered to be optional :), it will be better to make that explicit to avoid questions/concerns in the future. The JIRA is pending since the last release [1]

HI,

The goal of the JIRA is to review demo dependencies for the Category X license usage, please feel free to add more information to it.
At a glance the demos would IMO be considered optional and thus this would be allowed. [1]

Thanks,
Justin
