I'm just worried about some extension being a default in a web browser that
breaks things. If I do throw in the licence comment for proprietary code that
I did for a client, what do I throw in there? Also, why should I list the
source code when legally I do NOT have the right to give it away?
And about your sites that matter... where is the un minified JavaScript
source code for Apple? Facebook? Twitter? Youtube? I can understand sites
like Wikipedia but they are a non-profit organization. What about the for
profit organizations that need to support their workers to do good work? I
know there are non-profits that have a lot of employees, but would never be
on the scale of Microsoft, Oracle, and Facebook?
Another reason I can see hiding the source code is that there are people
waiting out there for some way to take down Facebook and by offering the
source code, they will do. Whether it is the competition, someone in Russia,
or just a pissed off person with an agenda, the company has to protect their
IP. Especially with the internet being the wild wild west that it is and hard
to track down someone.
