To investigate whether all the JS code in a page is actually free is a lot of work. Expecting each user to investigate this question for each page is not a workable approach. What is workable is for the site developers to indicate the licensing and source in a clear way for each script. Then we can automate the job for the users by means of LibreJS. > I had a look at that, it seems that the implementation of Web Labels > table: > a) doesn't support wildcarding or regexes > b) requires a physical link to be added to every page rather than > fetching from a known location. Perhaps it would be good to add those features. However, there may be nontechnical reasons not to do that -- we need to study that question. I will ask the LibreJS developers to study it with me. However, the discussion will take time, and implementation would take time too. Since the logo competition has a deadline, and this involves one page or a few pages, I suggest that you make the necessary small changes in the site now. I understand the reasons to minimize divergence from upstream, but "minimize" does not mean "absolutely reject". Right now, it's necessary. There is another immediate practical fix: make a simple page of HTML which shows the logos, and link to it from the existing page saying "If the logo images do not appear, go _there_." It won't be elegant but it will do the job. It won't introduce any divergence from the upstream models -- it will have no relation to them.
