# Open JSON
This code is extracted from the Android project to allow
a clean-room implementation of the popular JSON API to be
available under a free license as a small and independent
dependency.

The original library [1] is licensed under a standard BSD
license [2] with an additional line that requires the use of
the software only for "non-evil" purposes. Since this is
ill-defined, many downstream consumers of this software
find this license condition unacceptable. The moral is 
don't put jokes into legal documents.

# Acknowledgements

Thanks to the Android team for doing 99% of the work.

Thanks also to Simon Lessard for lending his critical eye 
and excellent suggestions.

Thanks to Tobias Soloschenko and Martin Grigorov with 
suggestions so open-json can help Wicket avoid the problem.

Going forward, it would be good to look at the independent 
open-json project[3]. The goals of that project go beyond
the original goals for a drop-on replacement for the 
original json.org library.
