  • It’s all free javascript no doubt

    Sorry if you already know all this, but just to be clear, the client.js.LICENSE.txt file is generated by the build system by collecting code comments related to licenses from every JavaScript dependency that ends up in bundled into client.js. I noticed this partway down:

    /*!
      Copyright (c) 2015 Jed Watson.
      Based on code that is Copyright 2013-2015, Facebook, Inc.
      All rights reserved.
    */
    

    So I’m not sure if the code in client.js is all free. Although I suspect that comment comes from exenv, which is actually BSD licensed per the LICENSE file.



  • This would be better off as a feature request on the lemmy project. It’s likely something hexbear admins can’t change without significant work which would have to be repeated on every site update.

    In fact, this code is unique to hexbear.net specifically.

    This is almost certainly just the generic lemmy JS code with some hexbear specific constants (like the site URL) compiled in during deployment. The header script is data-only so the initial render isn’t empty.

    /*! For license information please see client.js.LICENSE.txt */

    FYI you can add “.LICENSE.txt” to the javascript URL and read the licenses for all the compiled-in code. It doesn’t appear to all be free, but again, likely nothing hexbear admins specifically can do about that.
