Why can't some people understand that authors want claim over their creations? Is this really a bad thing? Not everyone writes code for the "good of mankind", and we shouldn't be forcing people to. The quality of software will just go down then. Besides, JavaScript code is open source. The reason I push for open source is so that others can get a learning experience by looking at ideas in existing code. This campaign is being really picky. Especially since it goes into detail about "where" the code is ran. I'm sure a campaign about "freeing" servers because they generate HTML would sound a lot more ridiculous.
