Description

Description

The retrofit2 code generator uses the https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.oltu.oauth2/org.apache.oltu.oauth2.common/1.0.2
library as a dependency. This library depends on https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.json/json/20140107 which has the JSON licence that is not compatible with open-source software (MIT / Apache 2.0 licence). Oltu project has also retired from Apache https://oltu.apache.org

Research direction

Start by locating the retrofit2 generator and the dependency declaration that brings in org.apache.oltu.oauth2 and org.json. Inspect the generated Java client and dependency tree, then verify that the replacement uses compatible free-licensed software and that all versions, including 2.3.1 and master, no longer include the flagged dependency.
