Summary: unclear licensing on a few files in GBrowse2
Initial Comment:
Hi,
I am packaging GBrowse2 (ajax) for the Debian distribution. While looking at files, we have some issues with a few files which license is unclear (see below)
Could you tell me which license is applicable for those file ? (license is a stop constraint for packaging)
Thanks
Olivier

While I am sure Richard's code is/can be licensed under an open license, I
don't know anything about dropdown and default_theme.css. I'm assigning
this to Lincoln as he will probably know.
