--- Comment #3 from Luis Villa (WMF Legal) <lvi...@wikimedia.org> ---
As a legal matter, what I care about is that we, the Foundation, have
permission to have the code on our servers without needing to review each
individual license. So as long as only open source code (i.e., in this case,
not the compiler) is on our servers, that is legally fine by me. (The compiler
obviously can't live on labs.)

As a policy matter, part of why we have an open source requirement is to make
sure the code can be reviewed, maintained, and improved by others. I don't
think this meets that requirement, but I don't think we've ever actually
written it down as a hard/fast requirement because it was always previously
covered by the first point.

So I'm inclined to say "no" but I think the second point is up for discussion
and my "no" shouldn't be taken as a hard/fast refusal from legal.
