Package: storymaps
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

Hello Javier,
it seems to me [1] that storymaps includes non-free files
(src/org/json/*) released under the JSON license [2].

[1] 
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/s/storymaps/current/copyright
[2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/03/msg00064.html

The package cannot be shipped in Debian main with these non-free
files.

The possible solutions I can think of are (in descending order of
desirability):

 (A) contact JSON copyright holder(s) and persuade them to re-license
     the files under DFSG-free and GPL-compatible terms (well, this
     seems unlikely, given the final answer mentioned in [2], but
     maybe another try could succeed?)
 
 (B) replace src/org/json/* files with a DFSG-free and GPL-compatible
     equivalent, if any is available (tools/jsmin.py from libv8, which
     is under a GPL-compatible 3-clause-BSD license, was mentioned [3]
     during the debian-legal discussion, but maybe it's a completely
     different thing...)

 (C) remove src/org/json/* files by repacking the orig.tar.gz upstream
     source archive, as long as storymaps is able to still be
     significantly useful without those files...
 
 (D) move the package to the non-free archive


I hope a satisfying solution may be found.
Thanks for your time!

Bye.
