Again, Adobe Legal said there is a distinction that an "externs" file is
not a derivative work, because it is a list of APIs and not really code.
So I would not be disagreeing with Justin if we were creating a derivative
work of code.  But it isn't the case here.  We are simply creating a list.
 There really isn't any code in an externs file and none of what there is
actually goes in the final output.  It simply is a list of symbols that
should not be renamed.



Alex,

It sounds like we will be fine either way. If Justin makes this fix, will
you veto the commit?

Thanks,
Om



Thanks,
