What is the status of this license in Fedora? I think I recall an issue with a
linting tool in Javascript with a similar clause and it was considered non-
free.
The license is non-free. It is listed as "JSON License " among other
"bad licenses" on licensing page [1] on the wiki. Its use in Fedora is
not allowed.
