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...
