Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1804:
-----------------------------------
Y, I ran into the same problem...it shouldn't be too hard to write a SAX parser
for the original XML and get rid of json entirely. I'm frankly lazy and
haven't bothered getting the journal parser running locally. If someone could
share example xml output, it shouldn't take more than a few hours, I'd think.
> Tika use no free json.org

> Hi
> Your project is licensed under Apache License Version 2,
> but your code pulls in code from json.org under Douglas Crockford’s bad
> licence [1] , and is non-free [2].
> Such usage restriction makes the license incompatible with The Open Source
> Definition and
> The Free Software Definition. Because Tika binary distribution includes this
> software,
> it effectively becomes proprietary software itself.
> You may also comment that the json.org license is valid for You but for many
> Linux distributions it is not acceptable.
> I hope to continue to maintain Tika for Fedora, without having to run into
> these problems.
> Please try to replace it with one of the many free alternatives.
> Regards
