RFC: would this unblock request be accepted?
Hi,
In order to fix #692615, which is related to the MBF by Ansgar about
JSON.org's license, upstream has very swiftly responded by replacing the
code with the offending license by a different JSON lib.
The cherry-picked commit in question would be this[0] and it applies to
the version in wheezy (and sid). Would this be accepted for wheezy?
The only other option I currently see, would be moving to non-free.
Assuming it's acceptable, would a repack be necessary to get rid of the
problematic source, or would patching suffice? AFAICS, the license issue
applies to running the code, as opposed to simply shipping unused
source, so I would guess the latter.
Cheers
