+# Note from Fedora Legal!
+# Please, do not update this package to a newer revision.
+# Later versions of the "json" upstream source have been relicensed
+# under an idiotic license containing an unenforceable clause which
+# makes the whole work non-free. Upstream thinks it is funny that their
+# immature license causes heartburn for serious users, and is not willing
+# to change it, hence, we're stuck here on the version 3 "apache" build.
