It +complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft +license designed for free software. + +We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free +software, because free software needs free documentation: a free +program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the +software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; +it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or +whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License +principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. + +@item +APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS + +This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that +contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be +distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a +world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that +work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below, +refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a +licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you +copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission +under copyright law. + +A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the +Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with +modifications and/or translated into another language. + +A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section +of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the +publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall +subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall +directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in +part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain +any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical +connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, +commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding +them. + +The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles +are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice +that says that the Document is released under this License. If a +section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not +allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero +Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant +Sections then there are none. + +The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed, +as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that +the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may +be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. + +A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, +represented in a format whose specification is available to the +general public, that is suitable for revising the document +straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of +pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available +drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or +for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input +to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file +format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart +or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. +An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount +of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''. + +Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain +ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input +format, SGML or XML using a publicly available +DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, +PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples +of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and +JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be +read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or +XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are +not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, +PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for +output purposes only. + +The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself, +plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material +this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in +formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means +the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, +preceding the beginning of the body of the text. + +The ``publisher'' means any person or entity that distributes copies +of the Document to the public. + +A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose +title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following +text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a +specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'', +``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title'' +of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a +section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition. + +The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which +states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty +Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this +License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other +implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has +no effect on the meaning of this License. + +@item +VERBATIM COPYING + +You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either +commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the +copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies +to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other +conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use +technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further +copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept +compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough +number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. + +You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and +you may publicly display copies. + +@item +COPYING IN QUANTITY + +If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have +printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the +Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the +copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover +Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on +the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify +you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present +the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and +visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. +Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve +the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated +as verbatim copying in other respects. + +If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit +legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit +reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent +pages. + +If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering +more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent +copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy +a computer-network location from which the general network-using +public has access to download using public-standard network protocols +a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. +If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, +when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure +that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated +location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an +Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that +edition to the public. + +It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the +Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give +them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. + +@item +MODIFICATIONS + +You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under +the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release +the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified +Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution +and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy +of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: + +@enumerate A +@item +Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct +from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions +(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section +of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version +if the original publisher of that version gives permission. + +@item +List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities +responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified +Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the +Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), +unless they release you from this requirement. + +@item +State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the +Modified Version, as the publisher. + +@item +Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. + +@item +Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications +adjacent to the other copyright notices. + +@item +Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice +giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the +terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. + +@item +Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections +and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. + +@item +Include an unaltered copy of this License. + +@item +Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add +to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and +publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If +there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one +stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as +given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified +Version as stated in the previous sentence. + +@item +Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for +public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise +the network locations given in the Document for previous versions +it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section. +You may omit a network location for a work that was published at +least four years before the Document itself, or if the original +publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. + +@item +For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', Preserve +the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the +substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or +dedications given therein. + +@item +Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, +unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers +or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. + +@item +Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section +may not be included in the Modified Version. + +@item +Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements'' or +to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. + +@item +Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. +@end enumerate + +If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or +appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material +copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all +of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the +list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. +These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. + +You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains +nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various +parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has +been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a +standard. + +You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a +passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list +of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of +Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or +through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already +includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or +by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, +you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit +permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. + +The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License +give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or +imply endorsement of any Modified Version. + +@item +COMBINING DOCUMENTS + +You may combine the Document with other documents released under this +License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified +versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the +Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and +list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its +license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. + +The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and +multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single +copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but +different contents, make the title of each such section unique by +adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original +author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. +Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of +Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. + +In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History'' +in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled +``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'', +and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all +sections Entitled ``Endorsements.'' + +@item +COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + +You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents +released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this +License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in +the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for +verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. + +You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute +it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this +License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all +other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. + +@item +AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + +A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate +and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or +distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright +resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights +of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. +When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not +apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves +derivative works of the Document. + +If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these +copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of +the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on +covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the +electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. +Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole +aggregate. + +@item +TRANSLATION + +Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may +distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. +Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special +permission from their copyright holders, but you may include +translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the +original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a +translation of this License, and all the license notices in the +Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include +the original English version of this License and the original versions +of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between +the translation and the original version of this License or a notice +or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. + +If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'', +``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve +its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual +title. + +@item +TERMINATION + +You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and +will automatically terminate your rights under this License. + +However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license +from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, +unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally +terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder +fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to +60 days after the cessation. + +Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is +reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the +violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have +received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that +copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after +your receipt of the notice. + +Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the +licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under +this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently +reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does +not give you any rights to use it. + +@item +FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + +The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions +of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new +versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may +differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See +@uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}. + +Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. +If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this +License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of +following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or +of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the +Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version +number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not +as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document +specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this +License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a +version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the +Document. + +@item +RELICENSING + +``Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site'' (or ``MMC Site'') means any +World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also +provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A +public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A +``Massive Multiauthor Collaboration'' (or ``MMC'') contained in the +site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC +site. + +``CC-BY-SA'' means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 +license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit +corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, +California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license +published by that same organization. + +``Incorporate'' means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or +in part, as part of another Document. + +An MMC is ``eligible for relicensing'' if it is licensed under this +License, and if all works that were first published under this License +somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole +or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, +and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008. + +The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site +under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, +provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing. + +@end enumerate + +@page +@heading ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents + +To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of +the License in the document and put the following copyright and +license notices just after the title page: + +@smallexample +@group + Copyright (C) @var{year} @var{your name}. + Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document + under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 + or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; + with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover + Texts.

Some use +it for complex tasks; many use it gratuitously for minor jobs that could +be done easily with plain HTML. Sometimes this JavaScript code is +malicious. Either way, the JavaScript code is often nonfree. For +explanation of the issue, see "The JavaScript +Trap"(<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html>). + + If you care about freedom in your computing, and don't wish to let +all and sundry make you run nonfree programs, now you can prevent it by +using LibreJS. + + +File: librejs.info, Node: Disclaimer, Next: Installation, Prev: Overview, Up: Top + +2 Disclaimer +************ + + * LibreJS is not a security tool. Its goal is to detect nonfree + nontrivial JavaScript, and it currently does not detect whether + free or trivial code is malicious or not. Other free Mozilla + extensions and add-ons may be available for this purpose. + + * LibreJS is always a work in progress. If you find a bug, please + report it to <bug-librejs@gnu.org>. + + +File: librejs.info, Node: Installation, Next: How to Use, Prev: Disclaimer, Up: Top + +3 Installation +************** + +You can install LibreJS directly using a generated 'librejs.xpi' file, +or by building it from source. + + You can also download it from Mozilla, but due to Mozilla's review +process the download isn't always up to date. + + +File: librejs.info, Node: How to Use, Next: JavaScript Detection, Prev: Installation, Up: Top + +4 How to Use +************ + +4.1 LibreJS in action +===================== + +After installing the add-on, you will see the LibreJS widget in the +add-on bar at the top right of the browser window. After loading a +page, left-click on the widget to view the deactivated JavaScript code +from the page (both on page and external) and, if applicable, the +scripts that were accepted. + +4.2 Script Blacklist/whitelist +============================== + +Scripts may be blacklisted or whitelisted through the pop-up menu box. + + Whitelisted scripts will always be accepted and blacklisted scripts +will always get rejected. + + It is important to note that this feature recognizes which scripts +are blacklisted and whitelisted based on hash. This means that even a +slight difference in a script's code will cause it to be recognized as a +seperate script. + + Sometimes, JavaScript will be dynamically generated so that it is +different every time a website is loaded. These types of scripts cannot +be whitelisted or blacklisted since they cannot be recognized. + + LibreJS has a default whitelist of scripts that are known to be free +but may not use the format for declaring a license that it can +understand. + +4.3 Complaint Feature +===================== + +It is very important to complain when a site has nonfree JavaScript +code, especially if it won't work without that code. LibreJS makes it +easy to complain by heuristically finding where to send the complaint. + + When nonfree/nontrivial code is detected in a page, LibreJS attempts +to find a relevant contact link or email for the website you are +visiting. In order to do so, it will attempt to visit a few links from +the current page (for instance, a link labeled "contact" on the same +domain as the current page, ...) + + LibreJS detects contact pages, email addresses that are likely to be +owned by the maintainer of the site, Twitter and identi.ca links, and +phone numbers. + + When you complain to the website for their nonfree nontrivial +JavaScript, provide them with the link to the JavaScript Trap essay so +that they can get more information on what the issue is and how they can +solve it on their own site. + + LibreJS includes a default subject line and body for the complaint +email, with a link to the JavaScript Trap essay. This can be configured +in the LibreJS add-on preferences in your web browser. + +4.4 Options +=========== + +"Whitelist" + + LibreJS lets you whitelist domain names and subdomains to bypass + the regular JavaScript check. This might be useful, for example, + if you are running your own code in a local web server. In order + to add a whitelisted domain or url, go to Tools >> Add-ons. Inside + the add-on window, click on "Extensions", and in the list, where + you see LibreJS, click on the "Preferences" button. You will see + an input field labeled "Whitelist". + + In the field, enter comma-separated domain names. Do not enter the + protocol. For instance to whitelist all the pages of + <http://www.gnu.org> and <https://gnu.org>, enter 'gnu.org'. To + allow all subdomains from gnu.org, enter: '*.gnu.org'. This will + match such sites as <http://savannah.gnu.org> and + <http://audio-video.gnu.org>. + +"Complaint email subject" + Configure the default subject used in complaint emails. + +"Complaint email body" + Configure the default body used in complaint emails. + + +File: librejs.info, Node: JavaScript Detection, Next: Free Licenses Detection, Prev: How to Use, Up: Top + +5 JavaScript Detection +********************** + +LibreJS considers a very strict subset of JavaScript to be acceptable +for use in non-free scripts. This is meant to maximimize compatibility +with websites that haven't tried to be LibreJS compatible. + + We consider modification of the document non-trivial. There isn't +much that javascript could do that we would consider trivial, for +anything else a free software license would be required. + + The criterion is as follows: + + For each function definition: + * It must call only primitives. + * The number of conditionals and loops must be at most 3. + * It does not declare an array more than 50 elements long. + * It must not call itself + + For the rest of the script, outside of function definitions: + * It must call only primitives and functions defined above in the + page. + * The number of conditionals and loops must be at most 3. + + "function" means anything executable that gets a name, including +methods. + + Allowed primitives exclude: + * eval() + * ajax + * calling methods with the square bracket notation + * altering the dom + * most other items found as methods of the '.window' object. + + +File: librejs.info, Node: Free Licenses Detection, Next: Setting Your JavaScript Free, Prev: JavaScript Detection, Up: Top + +6 Free Licenses Detection +************************* + +The machine readable format for license declarations that LibreJS uses +has changed in the most recent version. This was necessary in order to +not break the asynchronous JS loading model that browsers use. Scripts +are now evaluated independent of eachother and strictly as they arrive. + + +File: librejs.info, Node: Setting Your JavaScript Free, Next: LibreJS Development Notes, Prev: Free Licenses Detection, Up: Top + +7 Setting Your JavaScript Free +****************************** + +The first step is releasing your JavaScript under a free license. If +you are already using a free library, or you're not using any +third-party libraries, it might only take a few minutes. + + On your website, take a look at your HTML source. You can identify +distinct pieces of JavaScript that might be free and some other that are +nonfree. + + This might be the case with an analytics tracker, social media +widgets, and code that runs ads.

PREAMBLE + + The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other + functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to + assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, + with or without modifying it, either commercially or + noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the + author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not + being considered responsible for modifications made by others. + + This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative + works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. + It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft + license designed for free software. + + We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for + free software, because free software needs free documentation: a + free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms + that the software does. But this License is not limited to + software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless + of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We + recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is + instruction or reference. + + 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS + + This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, + that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can + be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice + grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, + to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The + "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member + of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept + the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way + requiring permission under copyright law. + + A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the + Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with + modifications and/or translated into another language. + + A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section + of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the + publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall + subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could + fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document + is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not + explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of + historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or + of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position + regarding them. + + The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose + titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the + notice that says that the Document is released under this License. + If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it + is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may + contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify + any Invariant Sections then there are none. + + The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are + listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice + that says that the Document is released under this License. A + Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may + be at most 25 words. + + A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, + represented in a format whose specification is available to the + general public, that is suitable for revising the document + straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed + of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely + available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text + formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats + suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise + Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has + been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by + readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if + used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not + "Transparent" is called "Opaque". + + Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain + ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, + SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming + simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. + Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. + Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and + edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which + the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and + the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word + processors for output purposes only. + + The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, + plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the + material this License requires to appear in the title page. For + works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title + Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the + work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. + + The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies + of the Document to the public. + + A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document + whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses + following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ + stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as + "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) + To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the + Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according + to this definition. + + The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice + which states that this License applies to the Document. These + Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in + this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other + implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and + has no effect on the meaning of this License. + + 2. VERBATIM COPYING + + You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either + commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the + copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License + applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you + add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You + may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading + or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, + you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you + distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the + conditions in section 3. + + You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, + and you may publicly display copies. + + 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY + + If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly + have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and + the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must + enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all + these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and + Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly + and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The + front cover must present the full title with all words of the title + equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the + covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as + long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these + conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. + + If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit + legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit + reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto + adjacent pages. + + If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document + numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable + Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with + each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general + network-using public has access to download using public-standard + network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free + of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take + reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque + copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will + remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one + year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or + through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. + + It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of + the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, + to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the + Document. + + 4. MODIFICATIONS + + You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document + under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you + release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the + Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing + distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever + possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in + the Modified Version: + + A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title + distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous + versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the + History section of the Document). You may use the same title + as a previous version if the original publisher of that + version gives permission. + + B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or + entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in + the Modified Version, together with at least five of the + principal authors of the Document (all of its principal + authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you + from this requirement. + + C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the + Modified Version, as the publisher. + + D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. + + E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications + adjacent to the other copyright notices. + + F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license + notice giving the public permission to use the Modified + Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in + the Addendum below. + + G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant + Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's + license notice. + + H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. + + I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, + and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new + authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the + Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the + Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and + publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add + an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the + previous sentence. + + J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document + for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and + likewise the network locations given in the Document for + previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the + "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work + that was published at least four years before the Document + itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers + to gives permission. + + K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", + Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section + all the substance and tone of each of the contributor + acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. + + L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered + in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the + equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. + + M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section + may not be included in the Modified Version. + + N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled + "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant + Section. + + O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. + + If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or + appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no + material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate + some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their + titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's + license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other + section titles. + + You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains + nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various + parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text + has been approved by an organization as the authoritative + definition of a standard. + + You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, + and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of + the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage + of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or + through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document + already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added + by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on + behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old + one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added + the old one. + + The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this + License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to + assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. + + 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS + + You may combine the Document with other documents released under + this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for + modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all + of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, + unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your + combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all + their Warranty Disclaimers. + + The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and + multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single + copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name + but different contents, make the title of each such section unique + by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the + original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a + unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in + the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the + combined work. + + In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled + "History" in the various original documents, forming one section + Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled + "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You + must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements." + + 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + + You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other + documents released under this License, and replace the individual + copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy + that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the + rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents + in all other respects. + + You may extract a single document from such a collection, and + distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert + a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this + License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that + document. + + 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + + A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other + separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a + storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the + copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the + legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual + works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this + License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which + are not themselves derivative works of the Document. + + If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these + copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half + of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed + on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the + electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic + form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket + the whole aggregate. + + 8. TRANSLATION + + Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may + distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section + 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special + permission from their copyright holders, but you may include + translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the + original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a + translation of this License, and all the license notices in the + Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also + include the original English version of this License and the + original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a + disagreement between the translation and the original version of + this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will + prevail. + + If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", + "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to + Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the + actual title. + + 9. TERMINATION + + You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document + except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt + otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, + and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. + + However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your + license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) + provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and + finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the + copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some + reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. + + Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is + reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the + violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have + received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from + that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days + after your receipt of the notice. + + Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate + the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you + under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not + permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the + same material does not give you any rights to use it. + + 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + + The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of + the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new + versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may + differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See + <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/>. + + Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version + number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered + version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you + have the option of following the terms and conditions either of + that specified version or of any later version that has been + published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the + Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may + choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free + Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can + decide which future versions of this License can be used, that + proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently + authorizes you to choose that version for the Document. + + 11.

Some use it +for complex tasks; many use it gratuitously for minor jobs that could be +done easily with plain HTML. Sometimes this JavaScript code is +malicious. Either way, the JavaScript code is often nonfree. For +explanation of the issue, see "The JavaScript +Trap"(@url{http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html}). + +If you care about freedom in your computing, and don't wish to let all +and sundry make you run nonfree programs, now you can prevent it by +using LibreJS. + + +@node Disclaimer +@chapter Disclaimer + +@cindex disclaimer + +@itemize @bullet +@item +LibreJS is not a security tool. Its goal is to detect nonfree nontrivial +JavaScript, and it currently does not detect whether free or trivial +code is malicious or not. Other free Mozilla extensions and add-ons may +be available for this purpose. + +@item +LibreJS is always a work in progress. If you find a bug, please report +it to @email{bug-librejs@@gnu.org}. + +@end itemize + +@node Installation +@chapter Installation +@cindex Installation + +You can install LibreJS directly using a generated @file{librejs.xpi} +file, or by building it from source. + +You can also download it from Mozilla, but due to Mozilla's review +process the download isn't always up to date. + +@node How to Use +@chapter How to Use + +@section LibreJS in action + +After installing the add-on, you will see the LibreJS widget in the +add-on bar at the top right of the browser window. After loading a +page, left-click on the widget to view the deactivated JavaScript code +from the page (both on page and external) and, if applicable, the +scripts that were accepted. + +@section Script Blacklist/whitelist + +Scripts may be blacklisted or whitelisted through the pop-up menu box. + +Whitelisted scripts will always be accepted and blacklisted scripts +will always get rejected. + +It is important to note that this feature recognizes which scripts are +blacklisted and whitelisted based on hash. This means that even a slight +difference in a script's code will cause it to be recognized as a +seperate script. + +Sometimes, JavaScript will be dynamically generated so that it is +different every time a website is loaded. These types of scripts cannot +be whitelisted or blacklisted since they cannot be recognized. + +LibreJS has a default whitelist of scripts that are known to be free but +may not use the format for declaring a license that it can understand. + +@section Complaint Feature + +It is very important to complain when a site has nonfree JavaScript +code, especially if it won't work without that code. LibreJS makes it +easy to complain by heuristically finding where to send the complaint. + +When nonfree/nontrivial code is detected in a page, LibreJS attempts to +find a relevant contact link or email for the website you are +visiting. In order to do so, it will attempt to visit a few links from +the current page (for instance, a link labeled ``contact'' on the same +domain as the current page, @dots{}) + +LibreJS detects contact pages, email addresses that are likely to be +owned by the maintainer of the site, Twitter and identi.ca links, and +phone numbers. + +When you complain to the website for their nonfree nontrivial +JavaScript, provide them with the link to the JavaScript Trap essay so +that they can get more information on what the issue is and how they can +solve it on their own site. + +LibreJS includes a default subject line and body for the complaint email, +with a link to the JavaScript Trap essay. This can be configured in the +LibreJS add-on preferences in your web browser. + +@section Options + +@table @dfn +@item Whitelist + +LibreJS lets you whitelist domain names and subdomains to bypass the +regular JavaScript check. This might be useful, for example, if you are +running your own code in a local web server. In order to add a whitelisted +domain or url, go to Tools >> Add-ons. Inside the add-on window, click on +@dfn{Extensions}, and in the list, where you see LibreJS, click on the +@dfn{Preferences} button. You will see an input field labeled @dfn{Whitelist}. + +In the field, enter comma-separated domain names. Do not enter the protocol. +For instance to whitelist all the pages of @url{http://www.gnu.org} and +@url{https://gnu.org}, enter @samp{gnu.org}. To allow all subdomains from +gnu.org, enter: @samp{*.gnu.org}. This will match such sites as +@url{http://savannah.gnu.org} and @url{http://audio-video.gnu.org}. + +@item Complaint email subject +Configure the default subject used in complaint emails. + +@item Complaint email body +Configure the default body used in complaint emails. +@end table + +@node JavaScript Detection +@chapter JavaScript Detection +@cindex javascript + +LibreJS considers a very strict subset of JavaScript to be acceptable for use +in non-free scripts. This is meant to maximimize compatibility with websites +that haven't tried to be LibreJS compatible. + +We consider modification of the document non-trivial. There isn't +much that javascript could do that we would consider trivial, for +anything else a free software license would be required. + +The criterion is as follows: + + For each function definition: +@itemize @bullet + @item + It must call only primitives. + @item + The number of conditionals and loops must be at most 3. + @item + It does not declare an array more than 50 elements long. + @item + It must not call itself +@end itemize + +For the rest of the script, outside of function definitions: +@itemize @bullet + @item + It must call only primitives and functions defined above in the page. + @item + The number of conditionals and loops must be at most 3. +@end itemize + +"function" means anything executable that gets a name, including methods. + +Allowed primitives exclude: + @itemize @bullet + @item + eval() + @item + ajax + @item + calling methods with the square bracket notation + @item + altering the dom + @item + most other items found as methods of the `.window` object. + @end itemize + + +@node Free Licenses Detection +@chapter Free Licenses Detection +@cindex freelicenses + +The machine readable format for license declarations that LibreJS uses has changed +in the most recent version. This was necessary in order to not break the asynchronous +JS loading model that browsers use. Scripts are now evaluated independent of eachother +and strictly as they arrive. + +@node Setting Your JavaScript Free +@chapter Setting Your JavaScript Free + +The first step is releasing your JavaScript under a free license. If +you are already using a free library, or you're not using any +third-party libraries, it might only take a few minutes. + +On your website, take a look at your HTML source. You can identify +distinct pieces of JavaScript that might be free and some other that are +nonfree. + +This might be the case with an analytics tracker, social media +widgets, and code that runs ads. Removing these pieces of code from your +site is required to have the rest accepted as free. There are +often alternatives to nonfree libraries or to third-party services: + +@itemize @bullet + +@item +If you have used nonfree third-party code as the base to write your own +code, try to find a free alternative. + +@item +If you're using a third-party service such as an analytics service, +replace it with a free alternative like Piwik. + +@item +If you can't find free JavaScript that has already been developed, +write it yourself! Who knows, your own solution might be the start of +a brilliant project! +@end itemize + + +@section License tags + +LibreJS will allow non-trivial scripts to run as long as they use a +free license. + +In order for the license of a script to be recognized by LibreJS, it +must be declared using a machine-readable license format. + +This format is the same for both remote in-line scripts. + +"// @@license [magnet link] [identifier]" +[Script here] +"// @@license-end" + +"Identifier" is a name of a license from the following list and "magnet link" is that +license's exact corresponding magnet link. + +@verbatim +{ + 'Apache-2.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:8e4f440f4c65981c5bf93c76d35135ba5064d8b7&dn=apache-2.0.txt' + }, + 'Artistic-2.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.perlfoundation.org/artistic_license_2_0', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:54fd2283f9dbdf29466d2df1a98bf8f65cafe314&dn=artistic-2.0.txt' + }, + 'Boost':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:89a97c535628232f2f3888c2b7b8ffd4c078cec0&dn=Boost-1.0.txt' + }, + 'BSD-3-Clause':{ + 'URL': 'http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c80d50af7d3db9be66a4d0a86db0286e4fd33292&dn=bsd-3-clause.txt', + }, + 'CPAL-1.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://opensource.org/licenses/cpal_1.0', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:84143bc45939fc8fa42921d619a95462c2031c5c&dn=cpal-1.0.txt' + }, + 'CC0-1.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:90dc5c0be029de84e523b9b3922520e79e0e6f08&dn=cc0.txt' + }, + 'EPL-1.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:4c6a2ad0018cd461e9b0fc44e1b340d2c1828b22&dn=epl-1.0.txt' + }, + 'Expat':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.jclark.com/xml/copying.txt', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:d3d9a9a6595521f9666a5e94cc830dab83b65699&dn=expat.txt' + }, + 'FreeBSD':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:87f119ba0b429ba17a44b4bffcab33165ebdacc0&dn=freebsd.txt' + }, + 'GPL-2.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:cf05388f2679ee054f2beb29a391d25f4e673ac3&dn=gpl-2.0.txt' + }, + 'GPL-3.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:1f739d935676111cfff4b4693e3816e664797050&dn=gpl-3.0.txt' + }, + 'LGPL-2.1':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5de60da917303dbfad4f93fb1b985ced5a89eac2&dn=lgpl-2.1.txt' + }, + 'LGPL-3.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.html', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0ef1b8170b3b615170ff270def6427c317705f85&dn=lgpl-3.0.txt' + }, + 'AGPL-3.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0b31508aeb0634b347b8270c7bee4d411b5d4109&dn=agpl-3.0.txt' + }, + 'ISC':{ + 'URL': 'https://www.isc.org/downloads/software-support-policy/isc-license/', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:b8999bbaf509c08d127678643c515b9ab0836bae&dn=ISC.txt' + }, + 'MPL-2.0':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3877d6d54b3accd4bc32f8a48bf32ebc0901502a&dn=mpl-2.0.txt' + }, + 'UPL-1.0': { + 'URL': 'https://oss.oracle.com/licenses/upl/', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:478974f4d41c3fa84c4befba25f283527fad107d&dn=upl-1.0.txt' + }, + 'WTFPL': { + 'URL': 'http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:723febf9f6185544f57f0660a41489c7d6b4931b&dn=wtfpl.txt' + }, + 'Unlicense':{ + 'URL': 'http://unlicense.org/UNLICENSE', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5ac446d35272cc2e4e85e4325b146d0b7ca8f50c&dn=unlicense.txt' + }, + 'X11':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/COPYRIGHT2.html#3', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5305d91886084f776adcf57509a648432709a7c7&dn=x11.txt' + }, + 'Modified-BSD':{ + 'URL': 'http://www.xfree86.org/current/LICENSE4.html', + 'Magnet link': 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:12f2ec9e8de2a3b0002a33d518d6010cc8ab2ae9&dn=xfree86.txt' + } +} +@end verbatim + +@section Undetected Free Licenses + +If you are using a free license that isn't detected by LibreJS and isn't +listed in the previous section, please send a message to +@email{bug-librejs@@gnu.org} regarding this license, where code released under +this license can be found, and where to find the license text and +information. + +Many free licenses are listed in this page: +@url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html} + +@node LibreJS Development Notes +@chapter LibreJS Development Notes + +@section Debugging + +To debug LibreJS, visit the special URL @code{about:debugging}.
