Why not use a JSON Standard like JSON-P? It’ll be required by other Eclipse 
Projects like MicroProfile, too 😉

Subject: Re: [incubation] JSON library questions

It's probably better to just avoid that library altogether. Our IP Team 
contacted the author some time ago to get a special license for Eclipse 
projects to use a specific version, but we don't feel that that license applies 
to subsequent versions. FWIW, the JSON license is problematic for other 
consumers (the EF isn't alone in having a problem with it). That you can't keep 
up-to-date with patches is going to be a long term problem. Have you considered 
adopting an alternative?

This library is already available in bundle form in an old drop of Orbit (I see 
it in a 2012 build [1]). Can you pull the bundle from there?

Dear mailing list,
We are using the JSON library with the following maven coordinate: 
org.json:json:20140107
Due to its specific license, this dependency can not be validated by the EMO 
team. The EMO team recommands to use the one provided by the CQ3603. We agreed.
However, because this dependency is specific to Eclipse (change of the license 
for Eclipse), can we integrate its source code direclty into our project as a 
package in one of the bundles. Thus the library will be mixed with our owns 
classes. If yes, are we allowed to modify it to avoid refactoring all our 
source code?
Thanks,

Best regards.
