Sean Mackrory commented on HADOOP-15080:
----------------------------------------

I think what you're suggesting sounds good: if Hadoop itself can be developed, 
built and tested without json-lib being on the machine, it's a very big stretch 
to argue that the ASF is "using" it by any definition. Aliyun is using it, so 
it's Aliyun's call and a separate issue. Moving to jersey-json sounds good, but 
isn't required to unblock the release if we can get an SDK that already has the 
correctly limited SDK, in my opinion. I don't think we got an unambiguous 
answer, but it sounds like declaring a test-only dependency on json-lib in 
hadoop-aliyunoss to prevent it from being distributed to end-users might still 
be considered "use" in the sense that the license refers to.
