microprofile embeds non-free code

Open Tachi107 opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Hi, microprofile currently contains some non-free JavaScript code embedded in src/microprofile*.html, specifically the HSL to/from RGB functions:

https://github.com/jonasmr/microprofile/blob/b20a06d66fe41b07e9e8fce5248908c44f2531d5/src/microprofile.html#L103-L158

The code from https://gist.github.com/mjackson/5311256 is not licensed, meaning that it cannot be used for any purpose; on the Gist thread, people asked multiple times for a license, but the author never did so.

On that same thread, user @vahidk linked to an alternative implementation free to use for any purpose: https://gist.github.com/mjackson/5311256?permalink_comment_id=2710361#gistcomment-2710361. I'd suggest using that instead.

This has been originally reported on Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1023178
