Any chance to replace no-evil JSON code in RJSONIO

Hi Duncan,

Daniel Pocock has kindly created Debian packages for RJSONIO.
Unfortunately these packages are not part of the official Debian
distribution but endet up in non-free due to the unfortunate license
choice MIT-no-evil for JSON_parser.*.  As far as I know this unfortunate
license was discussed several times with its author with no positive
outcome.  So it seems to be the only chance to get RJSONIO into Debian
main if we could find a replacement for this code.  Do you see any
chance to use an alternative implementation in RJSONIO.

I'm interested since I want to package other R packages for Debian that
are depending from RJSONIO (googleVis and others that are depending from
googleVis).

Kind regards

      Andreas.
