EPO's Local Staff Committee The Hague (LSCTH) Plans Presentation Next Week (Coinciding With Apparent Coronation of 'Cocaine King' Campinos)
Brigading Against Women - Part XXII - The Lozza Problem (in Length)

JavaScript in Richard Stallman's Web Site

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 07, 2026

Earlier this year: Finding a Way to Get Paid to Improve LibreJS | Efforts to Resume Progress on FreeJS, LibreJS, and Reduce Dependence on Microsoft

A month ago Richard Stallman's personal site returned online after a serious incident. For search he is using CGI, not JavaScript, and the source of the page states that navigation uses JavaScript, but it is Free/libre:

The JavaScript code in this page is free software

It is not obfuscated.

The above is the entire license notice for the JavaScript code

In my 20s I used to write some JavaScript programs. Now it seems like JavaScript has a very bad name/reputation among Free software proponents. █
