According to the web site for the jscalendar, the license is LGPL rather than GPL. This makes including it a little easier since you would not be creating a derivative work out of the web frontend by simply including the jscalendar widget. However, I would suggest that we don't include the source with the Ganglia project but instead, allow the frontend to use it if it exists on the system and instruct the end-user on how to download it and include it if wanted. Some end-users are fairly sensitive to anything that is GPL or LGPL licensed. Also, including the source in the Ganglia project would be basically forking the jscalendar code meaning that the Ganglia project would need to maintain it, if at the very list, resync'ing to the upstream project every once in a while.
