Hi, I'm going to package django-pipeline, that is licensed under MIT/Expat license except one file, that is MIT/Expat too but with one addede sentence: https://github.com/cyberdelia/django-pipeline/blob/master/LICENSE jsmin.py (License-information from the file) -------------------------------------------- This code is original from jsmin by Douglas Crockford, it was translated to Python by Baruch Even. The original code had the following copyright and license. Copyright (©) 2002 Douglas Crockford (www.crockford.com) Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. >> The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.

So it's probably non-free. But at the same time jsmin.py file in package is just wrapper around jsmin: class JSMinCompressor(CompressorBase): """ JS compressor based on the Python library jsmin (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsmin/). """ def compress_js(self, js): from jsmin import jsmin return jsmin(js) I've a few ideas how to at least workaround it: - repack upstream tarball and replace jsmin.py with stub one that returns original JS without compressing. - don't repack tarball, just patch this jsmin.py using debian/patches so that it will not use jsmin at all Any other suggestions? -- WBR, Dmitry
