Dear Developers, while packaging an updated version of one of my packages which included now rapidjson I became aware that this library includes the test suite date of http://json.org/JSON_checker/. While there is no license on the testsuite.zip, json_checker is licensed by json.org with the infamous clause "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." and I believe the testdata is covered under the same license "best case", (worst case not licensed at all.
For rapidjson [1] I filed #840333, but afterwards I checked also codesearch.debian.net for one of the testcases [2] and found many packages including it verbatim. I'm not sure if my assessment is right and we have a DFSG problem here, but if so, I guess this should be handled by extending the existing lintian error. Thoughts? [1] (where upstream is aware of it and later versions recommend to remove the testsuite) [1] https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%22Extra+comma%22%3A+true%2C +path%3Afail9.json&perpkg=1 -- tobi
