[OSM-talk] Freeing JavaScript on the OSM Homepage?
Dear community, I noticed some issues on the JavaScript of the OSM Homepage. Explicitly, I am refering to http://www.openstreetmap.org/assets/application-493a26542d1a58f893bae08f4aa9910495c3a14cfc60db9be9b878202547a7c1.js and http://www.openstreetmap.org/assets/index-31bba8593ce3fd4ccd6c585180f31149973b722e3839d9a1e294fdc406c86b6e.js . 1. This "code" is unreadable and therefore can not be considered as free software, even if it says being licensed under a free license. 2. Some of the licensing just says "MIT license" without giving a link to the full license. This term is according to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html unclear. I am explicitly missing links to the license at some parts of the "code" and a link to a source code that is readable and trivial and does the same as this "code", that can be edited and shared. I assume most of you heared about the free software foundation and it's goals and (mostly) identify with them? One of their goals is to free JavaScript, see: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.en.html https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/free-your-javascript.html Question: has this been discussed already? What do you think of the goal to free JavaScript for OSM? And who is able to do that? Personally I would love to help if I were a programmer being able to do that...

If you want the source then look at at the source tree: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website Everything there is (or should be) under an open license. 1. This "code" is unreadable and therefore can not be considered as free software, even if it says being licensed under a free license. So is the compiled gcc binary. It doesn't make gcc non-free though. Tom -- Tom Hughes (t...@compton.nu) http://compton.nu/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Hi unaware, there is an open issue [1] about that already since some months, but you have to be calm and wait for it to happen - or help on your own by submitting a pull request for a (partial) solution. regards Peter [1] https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/879 Am 20.01.2016 um 19:37 schrieb unaw...@sigaint.org: Dear community, I noticed some issues on the JavaScript of the OSM Homepage.
