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"(). - - 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 . - - -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 (*Note LibreJS Development Notes::). - - You can also download it from - or -, 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 separate 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 declare their license in a format that LibreJS 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 -=========== - - You can manage LibreJS's preferences either from the extension's - entry in your browser's Add-ons Manager page ('about:addons') or - by clicking the LibreJS toolbar icon and then the "Settings..." - button on the top right of the popup. This will open a panel - containing a whitelist/blacklist manager and a section to - configure your complaints messages to site owners. - -"Whitelist/Blacklist" - - LibreJS lets you whitelist or blacklist domain names and - subdomains, to bypass the regular JavaScript checks. This might - be useful, for example, if you are running your own code in a - local web server, or if you don't want to waste computing - resources on script origins you already know you can't trust. - librejs provides a lists manager UI to handle both the lists on - the top of its Options panel. - -"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. 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: - - * If you have used nonfree third-party code as the base to write - your own code, try to find a free alternative. - - * If you're using a third-party service such as an analytics - service, replace it with a free alternative like Matomo. - - * 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! - -7.1 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 the -magnet link in the 'canonicalUrl' field is that license's exact -corresponding magnet link. - -{ - 'AGPL-3.0': { - licenseName: 'GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE version 3', -

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: - - -7.3 Known limitations -===================== - -Service workers may cause false positives and false negatives, and -there are multiple ways to disable them. The cleanest way is by -setting 'dom.serviceWorkers.enabled' to 'false' in the 'about:config' -page of your browser. - - -File: librejs.info, Node: LibreJS Development Notes, Next: Installation Requirements, Prev: Setting Your JavaScript Free, Up: Top - -8 LibreJS Development Notes -*************************** - -8.1 Dependencies -================ - -LibreJS 7.20 depends on a number of Node.js-based libraries that can -be installed using the 'npm' utility: - - $ npm install acorn-loose jassha browserify - $ export PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin - -8.2 Building -============ - -To build the extension run: - $ browserify main_background.js -o bundle.js - - To build the extension plus create a .xpi package run: - $ ./build.sh - - To build the extension including the automated test suite (see TEST -below) run: - $ ./build.sh -t - or - $ ./build.sh --test - - Note: this 'build.sh' script relies on no new source files being -created. - -8.3 Debugging -============= - -To debug LibreJS, visit the special URL 'about:debugging'. Click on -'Enable add-on debugging' then 'Load Temporary Add-on'. Navigate to -LibreJS's unpacked source directory and select 'manifest.json'. - - Lines 39 and 40 in 'main_background.js' assign two variables -controlling the verbosity of 'dbg_print()' statements. Make sure -these are set to false before building a release. - -8.4 Testing -=========== - -An automated test suite runs automatically in its own tab whenever the -extension is loaded as a "Temporary add-on" from 'about:debugging'. -Otherwise (if included in the xpi) it can be launched from the UI by -clicking the "Automated self test..." button. - -8.5 Headless testing -==================== - -To launch the test suite from the command line, ensure the xpi package -has been built with automated test suite. Then install -selenium-webdriver and geckodriver, and ensure the latter is in $PATH: - $ npm install selenium-webdriver geckodriver - $ export PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin - - Now you can invoke the test with - $ node ./test.js - - which will print out a summary of test results. - - Optionally you can also test with a chosen seed - $ node ./test.js 12345 - -8.6 Headless compliance check -============================= - -To check whether a webpage is LibreJS-compliant from the command line, -ensure that the xpi package has been built WITHOUT the automated test -suite. Then install selenium-webdriver and geckodriver, and ensure -the latter is in $PATH: - $ npm install selenium-webdriver - $ npm install geckodriver - $ export PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin - - Now you can check a webpage for compliance with - $ node ./compliance.js - - It will open the url in a headless browser, save a screenshot, and -output the compliance check result. - - For example, to check the compliance of the FSF homepage, do - $ node ./compliance.js https://fsf.org - -8.7 Adding new whitelisted libraries -==================================== - -The script index.js in './hash_script' generates the default -whitelist. Run it with the following command: - - 'node index.js > output' - - Then, just copy the contents of the file "output" to the -appropriate place in main_background.js. - -8.8 Releasing a new version -=========================== - -Update the version number in manifest.json. - - Make sure debug statements are set to false on lines 39/40 in -'main_background.js'. - - Then run the build script 'build.sh'. - - -File: librejs.info, Node: Installation Requirements, Next: LibreJS Internals, Prev: LibreJS Development Notes, Up: Top - -Appendix A Installation Requirements -************************************ - -A.1 Mozilla Browser -=================== - -You will need one of the many flavors of the Mozilla browser to use -LibreJS.

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 - . - - 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. 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. - -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: - - Copyright (C) YEAR 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. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU - Free Documentation License''. - - If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover -Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this: - - with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with - the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts - being LIST. - - If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other -combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the -situation. - - If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we -recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of -free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to -permit their use in free software. - - - -Tag Table: -Node: Top850 -Node: Overview1842 -Node: Disclaimer2689 -Node: Installation3185 -Node: How to Use3642 -Node: JavaScript Detection7147 -Node: Free Licenses Detection8434 -Node: Setting Your JavaScript Free8904 -Node: LibreJS Development Notes19617 -Node: Installation Requirements22881 -Node: LibreJS Internals23591 -Node: GNU Free Documentation License24241 - -End Tag Table - - -Local Variables: -coding: utf-8 -End: -- cgit v1.2.3
