NoScript needs to check:
 
−
 
 
−
*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:
 
−
 
 
−
# It makes an AJAX request
 
−
# It defines a method
 
−
# It is loaded as or loads an external script
 
−
 
 
−
(I would add: 4. It accesses or creates a cookie or any other form of local storage -Caz)

Navigating the NoScript source code

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)
