Hi,
I want to use this library as Java API for Chargebee for a commercial product but when checking the dependencies of this library I found out that you are relying on org.json which is under "The JSON License".
That license is considered legally dangerous by quite some people in the opensource ecosystem due to the vague clause of "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." and in my case prevents me from using this library for interfacing with Chargebee for compliance reasons.

Similar issues also arose for other projects: fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin#1016

Could you consider replacing that dependency with an alternative to make compliance less of an issue please?
