Package: src:rapidjson
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream fixed-upstream
Justification: DFSG

The library includes the jsonchecker testsuite, which is from json.org.
Upstream of rapidjson mentions in a later README that this is under the
particular license here:

https://github.com/miloyip/rapidjson/blob/master/license.txt

It also clarifies that only the bin/jsonchecker is covered by this and if the
license is a problem upstream suggests to remove bin/jsonchecker.

So this package is in violation of the DFSG.

(Packaging a new upstream version and stripping the dir will solve this,
so marking this as "fixed-upstream")

As I need rapidjson as a dependency for rbdoom3bfg, I will looking into NMUing
it. Feedback from the maintainer would be appreciated though if they want to
package the new upstream version :)
