Actually this package provides common API for a few different compressors. So it's up to users to choose which one to use. I've already got response for upstream. File jsmin.py itself in package will have no "special" license as it's just "wrapper" around non-free jsmin. So special licensing will be removed from LICENSE. Is it ok to patch such "jsmin.py" wrapper now to do nothing? -- WBR, Dmitry
