Hi, biojava3 makes use of json.org library. this library is not
packaged in Debian. After a google, I saw old posts saying that
library is (was?) not compliant regarding its license [0].
Though, after a quick look on their web site I do not see any
restriction.
Can anyone tell me is something wrong with their code for not
being packaged?

Fails DFSG#5 or DFSG#6.
Not to mention "evil" is not defined, so it makes it hard to
figure out whether "we are doing evil or not".
I'd call this an "over-picky" interpretation of something that rather
qualifies as a joke rather than a license which can be dealt with in
court (disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, just try to apply common
sense.)
