Yes I read the FAQ but I do not think this is how open source should work. Collaboration is everything.

@xtreye Your commitment to open source and collaboration is appreciated and shared. The terms of the JSON-Java library license were set by the original author. For my part, the agreement to manage this project does not include making changes to the license text.
