Licensing issue with JSON-Java library #196

@hakandilek

Description

@hakandilek

Proposal:

JSON-Java dependency does not have a free license. This can be exchanged by Jackson.

Current behavior:

Currently influxdb-client-core depends on the JSON-Java library.

Desired behavior:

JSON-Serialization function in AbstractQueryApi (client-core) can be exchanged with an alternative implementation using Jackson

Alternatives considered:

Jackson is the most commonly used (de)serialization library. No other alternative considered.

Use case:

Due to the license terms of json-java, JSON License does not count as a free software license. The sentence in license terms "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." is relative for interpretation and bounding it's usage. This definition does not fit into free/open-source software definition.
