Some good news - we can put our twitter processor back in the game.

Legal VP at Apache just sent out the decision.

Will immediately restore that to action and put in the follow-on
ticket to ensure the twitter4j library moves away from the old Json
lib (there is a PR to replace it).  We can only keep it this way until
April so unless twitter4j resolves their source dependency we'll be
back in this position.

thanks
joe
