There was the case years ago of the smarteiffel compiler. It was supposed to be open source, but upstream only released C code. And that was bad, because it wasn't what *they* worked with: they had eiffel sources, and the C code was preprocessed and didn't allow/permit bootstrapping. It took some discussion to convince them to release the true sources. The situation is the same here: minified code isn't source. Trying to claim it's not really binary because it's JavaScript and not some bytecode (for a virtual or actual hardware) is disingenuous. If that's not what developer work with, that's not source, end of the discussion. Cheers, J. Puydt >
