Hi there,
On svn.zope.org we have a library called z3c.javascript. Never got released to pypi, but it did get released to download.zope.org/distribution
It basically contains a pile of javascript libraries. These have very non-ZPL licenses.
I wonder whether anyone at zope corporation ever got permission for checking these in?
What shall we do with this stuff? I'm tempted to remove it wholesale, except z3c.widget uses bits in it, and that in turn is used by megrok.form, which is how all this came to light. z3c.widget is released on pypi (though newer releases exist in download.zope.org/distribution again).
Wwe will probably be able to rewrite megrok.form to lose the z3c.widget dependency easily enough, so I'm going to propose we do this on grok-dev.
I see no ZC-employee checkins at all in the svn log, which starts in May 2006. This thread from October 2006 points out licensing issues:

+1 to removal, perhaps after some kind of svn export process.: those who maintain the package should host it elsewhere. The tarballs should be removed from download.zope.org, as well.
I remember that I added a correct license header some years ago for z3c.javascript. This code was at least some years ago used by the lovely systems guys. Not sure this days. Regards Roger Ineichen
