I personally do not require an open source license for Marvel/Sense, but I would like to see an explicit clarification about the use of Marvel in this scenario. Marvel does require a license to use and that would apply to any of its subsystems. Then again, Sense does not have a license, which means its use is also somewhat restricted.
Sense is an excellent tool and users dependency on the tool is quite apparent from this thread. :) I haven't packaged a Chrome plugin in about 3 years. Not only has my memory faded, but I would assume the mechanism has changed in our fast changing world of development. It would be a fun exercise to attempt to do it again.
