You will have to ask the original author, at json.org.

Once they have updated the license, we can just merge the changes.

Description:
------------
Hi,

This statement in the JSON extensions source code worries Debian about complience 
with the Debian free software guide (DFSG).

It would be great to remove this paragraph as to be clean the first license 
paragraph is obviously free software license.

./ext/json/utf8_to_utf16.c:The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.
./ext/json/JSON_parser.c:The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.
./ext/json/utf8_decode.c:The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.
./README.REDIST.BINS:The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.
