Basically, my forked json-c handles things like Unicode and complies
with the JSON spec for escaping certain characters, as well as a few
other bug fixes and what not.
You can't get a working php-json (er, well, that's what it was called
for the past year and a bit) without the bundled "Omar's json-c".

I'll try, but I've never spoken to the json-c developers. The project
looked abandoned when I was doing this stuff a year ago, so I forked
it.
Doesn't mbstring bundle a LGPL library?
