I'd like to add a way for Minify [1] users to retain license notices
when serving a combined & minified Javascript file, which could contain
multiple libraries, 3rd-party plugins, and user code.
Would it be (legally) acceptable to just give links to uncompressed
(license intact) versions at the top? Something like:
/* This file contains compressed source code from the following files:
http://example.com/js/jquery-1.2.3.js
http://example.com/js/jquery.plugin.js
http://example.com/js/site.js
Please see the above files for copyright/license information. */
I'd love to avoid the messy business of preserving licensing comments;
we'd need a crazy pattern to match "license" in every language, or to
adopt something like the YUI Compressor's convention of preserving only
multi-lines starting with /*! [2].
Thoughts?
