Re: [GMG-Devel] Survey requires nonfree Javascript

[cgw993]

Some of you people love to label people dont you?   First you label the first 
poster as "unjustified" and now I am trolling.  Now that you have labeled me as 
a Troll perhaps people will dismiss me instead of pay attention to a potential 
problem with the code?

Who are people supposed to trust first?  LibreJS or some other organization?  
You guys can do what you want but I am going with LibreJS, if it tells me some 
code is blocked, there is a good reason for it. Have a nice day fellas.

Pretty sure you're trolling here, but this is the untrue statement: "If

LibreJS is blocking something, it is likely non free." In fact, most of the

free Javascript in the world will be blocked by LibreJS, because the

license notation LibreJS requires is not yet widely used. So the only

conclusion you can reasonably draw when LibreJS blocks some javascript is

that the javascript does not contain the notation, not that the license is

unfree.
