We kicked SOPA's ass, looks like it's time to do some more kicking!

That site is recommending serving a proprietary script to users:

http://widget.battleforthenet.com/widget.min.js

No license notice, and no link to the source code. You'd think the source  
code would be this:


http://widget.battleforthenet.com/widget.js

But nope, it doesn't seem to be the case. There's no way any programmer would  
write a program like that; I certainly can't read it. And again, no license  
notice.


This isn't unusual on the Web, but it's still a problem with this thing.

The source code is here:  
https://github.com/fightforthefuture/battleforthenet-widget/blob/master/widget.js.  
Unfortunately, they didn't use JS web labels (or put the tags in the file,  
but web labels were invented for minified scripts) to document the license.
