Indeed, the OpenAPI schema files are Apache2-licensed [3], thus at least them could be retained. However, copies of these schema files are already around in Debian [4], thus I would suggest packaging OpenAPI schema files in a separate Debian package, and symlinking them to JSON::Validator cache location.
