From what I read, it is a JavaScript framework under a copyleft license with the intention of forcing other JavaScript to be copyleft.

I don't see this gaining traction as the more popular, mature, and stable jQuery and Mootools frameworks are under free software licenses.

LibreJS is a failure at this point and proves that there needs to be better ways to detect JS licenses. Since Abrowser/Firefox and Chrome/Chromium support sourcemaps, why not have an extension check minified JS code for the sourcemap and analyze the unminified code for a license block?
