Yes, ist only the testdata, but IMHO it is copyrightable.
It was my assumption that the testdata is under the json license,
as everything from json.org is released under this license and
the data is published in the context of the checker. 
(No license would be even worse, actually) 
Probably we'd need to ask..

Ok, sorry for the noise, I did see it...
(Actually the version in sid fine enough for me) 
At the point of the writing I did not realize that the remedy suggested
by upstream (for the license thing) is to remove the testsuite, so the
new version won't be better than the current one in sid.
