Package: libjson-java Version: 2.3-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1
JSON-lib, packaged as libjson-java, contains some elements from the json.org Java API which is distributed under the non free "shall be used for Good, not Evil" license. The JSONString interface from libjson-java [1] is identical to the one from json.org [2] but includes an additional Apache License header. The Javadoc comments in JSONArray and JSONObject are also copied verbatim from json.org. It's not clear if JSON-lib is derived from the json.org implementation or if the authors started from scratch and copied only the Javadoc.
