On: Etherpad includes banned (on Google code) software...

How childish of him. Attorneys will quibble over anything, he needs to either remove the offending text from the license, and use the FREE Google Code, or host it himself and quit complaining about Google's legal policies. He is going to either lose lots of software where his code is used, or make it a lot harder on the community.

It's not his call. He forked a derivative of Douglas Crawford's JSmin project, and that was a requirement in Crawford's license.

The whole thing is silly, because JSmin is ~200 lines of code. It would be trivial to rewrite from scratch and avoid the braindamaged license.

[cdibona → neilc]

I think the right way to deal with this is to find a way to use our closure tool to replace jsmin's functionality in a dfsg/osi approved way.

Not before the new year though (I was the dude who said no way to jsmin on google code)

That takes care of JSMin, but what about JSLint?
