Hi all. Thanks for the note. I took a look at the LibreJS docs to try to understand the problem. My analysis:

LibreJS is a web filtering plugin. Users are making a decision to block content which is not explicitly licensed in the LibreJS syntax, including public domain works marked in that syntax. Apparently LibreJS is working as designed. I don't think we should attempt to work around a user's web filtering software.

My understanding is that authors who want to get through the web filter should include an approved LibreJS license notice at the top of their page, and a separate license in a <script> when it conflicts with their chosen license.

Practically speaking, the script included by org-mode is in the public domain, so it could never conflict with whatever license the author chooses. Therefore, we should remove the LibreJS tag from the <script>, perhaps leaving behind the public domain notice in the <script> comment. With that tag removed, the LibreJS web filter should respect whatever LibreJS license the document's author includes, if any.
