Description

HTML/Java API is using json.org parsing library and that one contains unwanted field of use clause: Use for Good and not Evil.

Debian and Apache consider this too restrictive:
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#json

and suggest alternatives.

One of the most promising ones is
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libandroid-json-java

Replace the JSON library only useful for "good" - with generate purpose library.
