Obviously, it is very early to rely on something like this, because it is hardly used by anyone. By adding this information to websites we maintain we can change that a little. > I really do not like that LibreJS tells users that they are > running non-free code and encourages them to complain to site admins > about it when really LibreJS doesn't know anything. Yes, =E2=80=9Ccomplain=E2=80=9D is really not a nice default. > Part of my old job at the FSF was making sure LibreJS didn't complain > about things on FSF-run sites.

With current versions of LibreJS I found it pretty easy to make the changes to websites that are required to keep LibreJS from complaining. The only gotcha was that the browser has to be restarted after changes to license information. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
