Joe,
  Thank you for bringing these items to our attention.  Nick reopened TIKA-1804.

Fellow Devs,
  Should I open an issue on LEGAL for geoapi's license or are we confident that 
we're good to go with that license?

Subject: Tika-parsers using cat-x json.org dep and is geoapis ok?

Tika Team,

The ASF has recently changed their mind regarding the json.org [0] dependency 
this individual is referring to [1].  I believe that JIRA needs to be reopened. 
 It has blocked Apache NiFi from being able to update to using the newest 
tika-parsers.

In reviewing the list of other new dependencies I also ran across geoapis which 
was pulled in during [2].  It's license looks questionable to me given the 
claim of need to give notice to any changed OGC files.  It looks BSD-ish but 
not quite sure [3].  I don't see this called out in your LICENSE or NOTICE and 
I could not find a legal thread.  Are you sure this is ok to use?

[1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1804
[2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-443
[3] https://github.com/opengeospatial/geoapi/blob/3.0.0/LICENSE.txt

Thanks
Joe
