Thanks Joe. The legal-discuss/committee for the ASF is discussing getting a 6 month time period on this b/c there are transitive dependencies all over for this. We will be appreciative of a time frame since I think replacing it with another JSON library will likely be non trivial and involve some PRs.
RE: [2] and [3] it’s the same dependencies that Apache SIS uses and I think we are good there – in fact they are pulled in by SIS.

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?
