New issue 446 by aradici: non-free tools/jsmin.py is preventing the  
inclusion in Debian
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=446

Hi,
the file tools/jsmin.py is licensed under the JSON license and after an
inspection of all licenses, this is the only file that is preventing the
inclusion of v8 in Debian; the license says that the tool has to be used
"for Good and not for Evil" which is clearly a non-free license, please see
the related thread here:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2009/09/msg00034.html

We are aware of at least two replacements for jsmin.py:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/
http://dean.edwards.name/download/#packer

Could you please switch to one of these?

Cheers
Antonio
