Group: Free Software Foundation/Tasks/ModifyNoScript
- Note: a lot of discussion is taking place at Group talk:FSF/Tasks/ModifyNoScript.
The task
Modify NoScript so it can detect and block nontrivial nonfree JavaScript code
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)

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)
