We have a couple of ways of conveying license info for JavaScript that we hope people will adopt -- they are both machine and human readable -- at <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html>. The method described at <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/javascript-labels.html> is probably most suitable for cases like jquery. License notices are important for the people receiving the software -- so that users who get the software know they have certain freedoms. It may help to think about it in these terms as well as just satisfying copyright holder requirements/expectations. -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: 61A0963B | http://status.fsf.org/johns | http://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
