GPLv3 is quite limiting for a JS library. The source file[1] also has no license in the header, just a copyright. [1] http://veritetimeline.appspot.com/latest/

  You're looking at the minimized file. In source/js/timeline.js it says: Verite Timeline 0.82 Copyright 2011 Verite.co Designed and built by Zach Wise digitalartwork.net Date: February 7, 2012 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

    I posted an issue on github, recommending they include a license file in the main directory and switch to LGPL. Personally, I'm a fan of MIT/BSD, but if they prefer the GPL style, then the LGPL makes sense if they want the library to be used. https://github.com/VeriteCo/Timeline/issues/4 https://github.com/VeriteCo/Timeline/issues/4

  Could you explain why? I've never been able to find a conclusive answer on GPL applied to Javascript
