Jsonlite would be fine as well.

What package developers do you mean?  Do you think RJSONIO should change
to pure MIT?  That's probably not possible since they are using code
from the (famous) non-evil author who has fought endless flamewars to

:-().
 
Do you think there is much effort to port googleVis to jsonlite?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
