Jena used to use the Java json.org parser - all we wanted was a basic 
parser, no java-json mapping, just JSON->abstract parse tree.

We simply wrote our own parser because it was quicker than sorting out 
the legal side.  The fact it reuses our tuned I/O code we had for our 
RDF parsers is a bonus.
