Final Comment

Thanks for your diligence while working on this package. I've had a
look through the source, and while it's mostly there, I have to reject
it for now because of some issues in the examples and a few copyright
slips.

The main headache is with a few specific examples that bundle minified
JS and CSS without source. This is a bit of a DFSG problem since we
don't have the preferred form for modification, and the minification
process often strips out original authorship, which leads to license
violations. Specifically:

  • examples/counter-basic/: contains assets/bulma.min.css.
  • examples/counter/: contains assets/js/htmx.min.js and
    assets/css/bulma.min.css.
  • examples/crud/: contains static/htmx.min.js and
    static/bootstrap.css. The bootstrap file is particularly messy
    as it embeds Normalize.css and HTML5 Boilerplate but loses the
    attribution for authors like Nicolas Gallagher and Jonathan Neal.

I'd suggest just excluding these three example directories from the
source tarball using Files-Excluded in d/copyright. It's usually the
easiest way to deal with bundled web assets that aren't core to the
actual library. The other examples seem fine to keep.

Also, safehtml/style.go is actually copyrighted by 'The Go Authors'
(2017), so you'll need a separate stanza for that rather than lumping
it in with the LSP authors. You should also double-check the year
ranges for the LSP authors in lsp/; I saw 2018-2021 in the headers, so
make sure the d/copyright patterns reflect that.

Fix those up and send it back my way.
