Description

The ASF recently made the determination that the json.org license is category x. Storm doesn't depend on it directly, but Storm depends on twitter4j for storm-starter, and twitter4j depends on json.org.

This is a blocker for any releases. Please refer mail thread for detail: https://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg40060.html
