[Request] LibreJS license block

Is your request related to a specific problem you’re having? Users using the LibreJS plugin cannot run highlight.js scripts.

The solution you’d prefer / feature you’d like to see added… Add to top of generated file:

// @license magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c80d50af7d3db9be66a4d0a86db0286e4fd33292&dn=bsd-3-clause.txt BSD-3-Clause License

Add to end of file:

// @license-end

Additional context… The magnet URI (magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c80d50af7d3db9be66a4d0a86db0286e4fd33292&dn=bsd-3-clause.txt) can be opened in a BitTorrent client to retrieve a copy of the GNU AGPL 3.0 license. Section 3.2.2.1 from the above link has a list of magnet URIs for various free software licenses.

Sorry, allow me to clarify what I was trying to get at on this topic:

Other giant libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap aren’t following this LibreJS pattern. So that would give us no motivation to follow suit. Other libraries have copyright notices in these formats, just like us. Oh hey, except maybe the !.

AH duh, I knew that. 😃 Our header process just adds the header itself at the last minute so it can contain up-to-date Git SHA and version, etc… but I’d be happy to add a ! to that so something else is less likely to strip it away. Did you see the above? We already do this:
