Sean Mackrory commented on HADOOP-15080:
----------------------------------------
Someone can correct me if a higher authority has already clarified this
differently from me, but my interpretation is that solution 2 is acceptable,
but solution 1 is not. json-lib is not allowed because of a clause that it only
be used for "good, not evil", which would seem to me to apply to it's use in
tests just as much as it would to a distribution. So I think even in test-scope
we would not be allowed to use it. jersey-json is dual-licensed under CDDL
(which can be used in binary form for tests, etc.) and GPL (which is also
category-x), and although I can't find where the authors specify that the
dual-licensing allows you to abide by either license instead of by both
licenses, jersey-json is already in use elsewhere in Hadoop so I would assume
this question has already been settled and we can safely use jersey-json in
test scope.
So I would vote for solution 2, if we can get that done within a couple of days.
