This is dumb. The argument is that minifiers strip out copyright notices, except I'm not aware of any minifier that's actually used these days that doesn't leave in copyright notices by default.
- lucb1e 6y agoThat's also what I was thinking; the latter at least, not the 'this is dumb' part. I do agree with the author that minified javascript is a pain, even if not for the license reason. Sometimes map files are provided, but often not, and it's annoying to have to reverse engineer software that runs on my own computer when, as the author says, the gains are marginal compared to just gzipping the original.
