Joseph Witt reopened NIFI-2991:
-------------------------------

legal-discuss thread from VP Legal indicates pre-existing usage can continue to 
use the now defunct lib provided there is proper notice (we already had that) 
and that it is discontinued by April 2017.  Reopening to restore only the 
twitter processor to the build.  The other changes will remain.

Further, will file a JIRA to ensure that in the 1.2 release (or whatever is by 
April or twitter4J fixes their lib) we resolve it for real.

> JSON.org license is now CatX

> 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.

> I don't know how many of our versions include stuff under this license, it's 
> definitely currently in master.
