 Thank
  you for using the GPL, one reason why it exists is to protect computer
 users from malicious software. JavaScript has reach the level where it
 is significant enough to be feared. To protect ourselves, we should
 require JavaScript that has been licensed to run for any purpose, to be
 studied, to be changed, and to be shared. Without these freedoms,
 JavaScript can be malicious and stagnate with overlooked bugs or a
 stubborn lack of features.

 I could not use your sites because it requires running JavaScript code
 that is not free software.  Since a nonfree program disrespects the
 user's freedom, I decided not to run it. See
 http://gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for more information, and
  please make your JavaScript code free. Respectfully, Kete
