You might want to send this to the flac-dev list too. This list
is pretty quiet.

After compiling opusenc.js to JavaScript [1], now the flac
tool is also available [2][3], too.

I am slightly nervous about its license, the GPL and what
CloudFlare is doing: It's melting a lot of content together
into one file and adding JavaScript that doesn't appear to be
GPL or compatibly licensed -- by any chance, is there a
possibility to get an exception (e.g. LGPL license) for
JavaScript versions? It's also an issue to what happens in
proprietary browsers, or more specifically in browsers with
proprietary JavaScript VM, when they optimize code and insert
custom assets. In theory, users of them can't abide with the
licensing terms and use the tool online[5]. Advice welcome.
Another thing is the flac website[4] being GPL licensed, too.
Of course one may quote from it; however things would be
easier if it would be dual licensed, with something, say
cc-by-sa 3.0 in addition.
Finally, thanks for the great free tools, Xiph.
