I guess you are referring to the thread starting at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/03/msg00064.html
(if not please provide a pointer).

Anyway, if it's the authoritative point of view of the ftp-masters we
have to deal with it somehow.

What surprises me is that json.js is also in libjs-yui -- ah, it's a
different file. But doing something similar?!

I guess someone who has more knowledge about this javascript/JSON
stuff should look into this and find a replacement -- if it's
actually needed.

Cheers,
gregor
