Source: ruby-json
Version: 1.8.3-1
Severity: serious
I've found this notice in the json

This makes the file nonfree, at least according to the FSF which I
asked about this.
Since the JSON parser contains two parallel implementations of the same
code, native variant and pure Ruby variant, one way to solve this would
be to use the pure Ruby variant by default. I solved the bug this way
for another free distro Parabola[1].
