[Biojava-dev] json library license issue in biojava3

[Olivier Sallou]

Hi,
the json library used in biojava3 (json.org), has a license not
considered as "free" by Debian and other open-source organizations (even
for google open source projects).

It indeed declares its use "for good and not evil". Though this could
only be a joke, this creates an issue to put the software in open source
distributions (like Debian), and prevents me from putting biojava3 in
Debian (at least not biojava3-ws)

Would you consider using an open source library for the JSON parsing?
(there is for example json-lib at http://sourceforge.net/projects/json-lib/)

Thanks

Olivier
