1418158 - Import of Custom Elements (v1) Polyfill

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(mozilla.org :: Licensing, task)

Description

[Matthew N. [:MattN]]

I would like to import the Custom Elements (v1) Polyfill from https://github.com/webcomponents/custom-elements/blob/v1.0.5/custom-elements.min.js for use until Firefox's Custom Elements implementation is stable.

License file: https://github.com/webcomponents/custom-elements/blob/v1.0.5/LICENSE.md

Header inside the file: https://github.com/webcomponents/custom-elements/blob/v1.0.5/custom-elements.min.js#L27-L32

Is my license.html change at https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/200056/diff/1#file5783094 sufficient?

Unfortunately not, because the copyright line is different. You'll need to add a new block :-|

Attachment: v.1 Add Polymer license

OK, I've added a Polymer section with the contents of http://polymer.github.io/LICENSE.txt

I do wonder if I need to include the contents of the header inside the file too: https://github.com/webcomponents/custom-elements/blob/v1.0.5/custom-elements.min.js#L27-L32

and/or if I need to include copyright lines since the year and work "Project" differ:

> Copyright (c) 2014 The Polymer Authors. All rights reserved.
> Copyright (c) 2016 The Polymer Project Authors. All rights reserved.

No, just include the LICENSE.txt file.

But also, we shouldn't be putting minified-code-only into our repo. Please check the unminified version in alongside, even if we don't reference it in the build, and make sure the text in the license block reflects that. You should probably put the two files in their own subdirectory, with a copy of LICENSE.txt.

We removed the polyfill in bug 1496698.
