Modify NoScript so it can detect and block nontrivial nonfree JavaScript code — Free Software Foundation — working together for free software

Modify NoScript so it can detect and block nontrivial nonfree JavaScript code

Richard Stallman is looking for someone to modify NoScript so it can detect and block nontrivial nonfree JavaScript code.

Nontrivial JavaScript code is defined in The JavaScript Trap as "if it makes an AJAX request, and consider it nontrivial if it defines methods and either loads an external script or is loaded as one."

Methods for free software scripts to identify their licenses are also suggested.

Interested parties should follow up by adding their details to the LibrePlanet page for this task, and contacting Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>

The FSF is a charity with a worldwide mission to advance software freedom — learn about our history and work.

The FSF also has sister organizations in France, Latin America, Europe and India.
