Can I sue them?

But that javascript is free

maybe youve confused the meaning of the word free with something else?

If it's not obfuscated, it's free as in freefom JS.

>>54545628
the script isn't licensed properly under GPL, sure it COULD be. But it isnt.

But you could download the JS to your pc, edit it, license it to yourself under the GPL and then use it and live in freedom.
As long as the "illegally" modified version doesn't leave your PC it's fine.

The same goes for music. You may edit songs by other artists, but you may not publish them in any other but a satirical context (fair usw).

I know you're trolling, but freetards actually think like this
>>
>>54547075
I know, I read the FSF page about "non-free JS".
Don't geht me wrong, I like freedom, and what the FSF is doing is not bad, but if it's fanatic (like RMS is sometimes) it's making things worse than they already are!
