There are a whole bunch of people who claim copyright on those files; their
names are listed in the files' headers. I'll note that when I requested
copyright assignment, I alerted the clerk that I was using these libraries.
The plugin doesn't work without them.
I could probably externalize those files into an "npm" package and instruct
users to install a separate executable to run the JavaScript portion of the
plugin. But I'd much rather just include them in the package, because then
it "works out-of-the-box".
As for ert-async, what would be our course of action if he does not agree?
Will we add a copyright exception, or will I not be able to include the
file in the repo?
