[OSM-talk] Freeing JavaScript on the OSM Homepage?

[unaware at sigaint.org]

Dear community,

I noticed some issues on the JavaScript of the OSM Homepage. Explicitly, I
am refering to
http://www.openstreetmap.org/assets/application-493a26542d1a58f893bae08f4aa9910495c3a14cfc60db9be9b878202547a7c1.js
and
http://www.openstreetmap.org/assets/index-31bba8593ce3fd4ccd6c585180f31149973b722e3839d9a1e294fdc406c86b6e.js
.

1. This "code" is unreadable and therefore can not be considered as free
software, even if it says being licensed under a free license.
2. Some of the licensing just says "MIT license" without giving a link to
the full license. This term is according to
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html unclear.

I am explicitly missing links to the license at some parts of the "code"
and a link to a source code that is readable and trivial and does the same
as this "code", that can be edited and shared.

I assume most of you heared about the free software foundation and it's
goals and (mostly) identify with them? One of their goals is to free
JavaScript, see:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.en.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/free-your-javascript.html

Question: has this been discussed already? What do you think of the goal
to free JavaScript for OSM? And who is able to do that? Personally I would
love to help if I were a programmer being able to do that...

Best regards
