Thanks for forwarding it on Craig. Just to be clear, I''d like to just use code in the html of the public project website - we would not modify the code, incorporate it into any of our software, nor distribute it in any form.
Would this be ok? I'm assuming this is ok since we would be abiding by the LGPL and we're not distributing it. Much in the same way the ASF uses other non-ASF products (Jira, Confluence, etc). Please advise!
