GOD DAMMIT i=E2=80=99m sorry. Afaik only JS= Lint, not JSHint is under doug=E2=80=99s modified MIT license (wikipedia is= wrong that they allegedly use the same license). and the phrase doug added= which made JSLint=E2=80=99s MIT license nonfree is ridiculously =E2=80=9CT= he Software shall be used for good, not evil=E2=80=9D=E2=80=A6 If we howeve= r identify as =E2=80=9Cminions of IBM=E2=80=9D, then we can freely use it, = since he explicitly allowed IBM (and their minions) to use his software for= evil :)

i still want the user to be able to use JSLint, and there s= hould be a solution. while the old python lib that got used to provide JSLi= nt functionality =E2=80=9Cgot around it=E2=80=9D by downloading JSHint on d= emand, i doubt that this is OK. the only difference is that it=E2=80=99s no= t in our repo, but that doesn=E2=80=99t change the fact that js_utils used = the code before just like it uses the code now. so my change only directed = attention to it, and didn=E2=80=99t add a new incompatible license.

i think we could require the user to click a one-time messagebox which = says =E2=80=9Cyou=E2=80=99re only allowed to lint your JavaScript for good,= not for evil=E2=80=9D, and, if he declines, fail to load the js_utils plug= in with a UserIsEvilException. sounds good?

Please don't feel bad for bringing such topics up. It's important a= nd I

So, @ the Pate guys - can you please take care of this asap? T.C. explains<= br> what could be done. Generally, we might think about GHNS support for these<= br> things, which would allow users to download the file at runtime, completely=

+1 fo= r GHNS! (for Python plugins)
also it will allow to ppl to sha= re their plugins publicly (and probably can helps to increase amount of ava= ilable plugins).
but (also) we need a good tutorial about how to write a python plugin in= 15 minutes to show that it is really simple (and fun) task...
