https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Bad_Licenses
to be more specific.

In addition, there was mentioned that the json license is listed under
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NonFreeSoftwareLicenses

It's probably worth pointing that out to (php) upstream.

They seem to think it's a self-made, Debian-only problem.
