Dear Maintainer,

the upstream source code of package "asymptote" contains the rapidjson.
Lintian correctly complains: license-problem-json-evil .

However that license file states:

"If you have downloaded a copy of the RapidJSON source code from Tencent,
please note that RapidJSON source code is licensed under the MIT License,
except for the third-party components listed below which are subject to
different license terms.  Your integration of RapidJSON into your own
projects may require compliance with the MIT License, as well as the other
licenses applicable to the third-party components included within RapidJSON.
To avoid the problematic JSON license in your own projects, it's sufficient
to exclude the bin/jsonchecker/ directory, as it's the only code under the
JSON license.
A copy of the MIT License is included in this file."

Hence I removed that subdir from my source to avoid the license issue.
Nevertheless I get the lintian error. Please refine the check for json
license.

How did you remove the file?

By patching ? Or by repack ?

For this license you need a repack see man uscan

Hi,

I did a repack of the upstream tar ball. The new tar ball is not in the
archive yet, was just uploaded a few minutes ago. You may check it, once
the upload was accepted.
