The task
Modify NoScript so it can detect and block nontrivial nonfree JavaScript code
NoScript needs to do
- If the Javascript code in the page is trivial, then it is ok.
- If the Javascript code carries a recognized free license. it is ok
- Otherwise, reject it.
The definition of nontrivial
JavaScript program nontrivial if it makes an AJAX request, and consider it nontrivial if it defines methods and either loads an external script or is loaded as one.

Info
You can download the source code of noscript here:
It seems to be written in javascript, and the majority of the code is in a zip-file called noscript.jar in the "chrome" directory.
(RequestWatchdog.js seems to be the file that checks requests, and may be the one that we need to modify -Caz)
