#LibreJS afaik also has caveats other than the license header, some bits about how code is run etc and statements that aren't allowed. And so far I've heard problems with people having a hard time figuring out _why_ their code doesn't verify as libre. If it happens to be really easy, I'd happily accept a patch and I guess @hannes2peer too (though last I read he had managed to fix it for !qvitter)
-
@arunisaac I know @hannes2peer has complained lots about how sucky/difficult #LibreJS is. It's apparently hard to make it conform to the requirements (and personally I don't see the point, as the problem with JS is security - and that's not solved by just putting JS malware under a !foss license).
I prefer to just make stuff usable without javascript.

@mmn @hannes2peer (with #LibreJS for being malware)

I think #LibreJS also prevents running code through eval() (a really good security feature) which is a common practice within the insecure #Javascript world I love to bash. It would not surprise me if many external libraries require eval() execution.
