mininification and license blocks?
Ive been experimenting with minification engines (jsmin - the php build) that can serve up minified js/css to the broswer on the fly.
I have all jQuery UI widgets/interactions/effects as separate files. I am them having my backend scripts combine the neccessary ones I need for a page, minify them and then send them...There by limiting the number of http requests and size in general. ...I don't need the whole UI suite if I'm simply using one or two effects or widgets. - ya know?
The problem is that the licensing; being a comment block is stripped from the combined code. I am no lawyer but I am confident that that most likely breaks jquery's/ui's agreement clause.
How do I handle this the ethical/legal way?
Can I:
1. provide some kind of a link at the top of the js/css file that points to a page that will provide all the original licensing blocks that come with the jquery/ui components?
2. Simply serve up one of the the licensing blocks just before the jquery/ui stuff begins in my assembles js file?
