Comment:
The push for "free" javascript is merely a political push to strong arm
code publishers into using "free" Stallmanesque licenses (e.g. (A)GPL*)
which are—arguably, however in the opinion of many here—less "free" than
other less restrictive licenses (e.g. BSD, MIT, CC0). More to the point,
since this type of "free" neither increases the security nor the privacy
of users, I doubt this feature will ever be a priority for us.
