Hello Christian,
I have just stumbled upon this bug report and I thought I could comment
it.

The quoted text in the original report seems to be the entire license
grant for ruby-2.2.3/ext/json/generator/generator.c

If this is the case, then, at the very least, it lacks any permission
to modify the file (thus failing DFSG#3).
Moreover, the license grant seems to attempt to restrict use to
"products supporting the Unicode Standard" (thus possibly failing
DFSG#6).

I hope this clarifies.

I would say that the severity of this bug should be brought back
to "serious".


Thanks for your package maintenance job!
