Bug#692616: lintian: Check for the non-free JSON license in source packages
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
The non-free JSON license keeps re-appearing in main[0]. It would be
helpful if Lintian could check for its appearance in the source
package. The license appears to be very trivial to identify thanks to
the non-free line:
""" The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil. """
It is not enough to simply check the copyright file as it is usually
not explicitly present there (which is a separate RC bug in these
packages).
