Yes, please identify all pieces of code that are clearly not covered by the software grants like this one. Once you have
a list we can take the next step of identifying licenses and replacing questionable ones.
thanks,

Fair enough. I still think we need to resolve the license of them wrt
Wink though, but IANAL :-(
I recommend creating a wink-json module to hold onto these.

There were two reasons for not using json.org as a 3rd party
dependency. First, we wanted to have as few as possible dependencies -
it makes life easier for users. Second, the json library uses
StringBuffer for all of its work, so to increase performance I changed
all of the StringBuffer instances to StringBuilder.
It's true that using the json sources as part of our sources has the
disadvantage of not progressing with the natural development of the
json library, but at that time, the two advantages I mentioned above
were more important.
So, do we stay with the modified json sources we have now or go with
the json library as a separate dependency?

Subject: Re: Legal headers on org/apache/wink/common/model/json/*.java
Is there any reason why we don't simply use the org.json:json:20090211
dependencies instead of including these sources?
