@@ -3,3 +3,12 @@ Hello,
We got a report that http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/ "embeds apparently non-free JS". This is because the embedded ikiwiki.js javascript file does not wear a copyright notice, to tell which licence this file is shipped under. Could you add such a copyright notice?
Thanks

+> appears to be GPL-2+, but might have been intended to be under the permissive basewiki
