The problem is the following clause in src/JSON_parser.c:
The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.
This makes the software nonfree, and it should therefore be rejected by
ftpmasters. See [1] and [2] for discussions of this problem.
I also encountered this issue when trying to package "WDI" from CRAN,
which depends on RJSONIO. As a workaround, I am going to package
"rjson", which also does the job (but is slower, and has a slightly
different API which therefore implies to patch on WDI).
Ideally RJSONIO should be fixed by (1) repackaging the tarball without
JSON_parser.{c,h} and (2) providing equivalent functionality with a
patch. Unfortunately I don’t have the time and skills to do that.
