      Description

      The GNU AGPL requires that a copy of the license accompany the software whenever it's distributed, whether in source or object code form. However, the full text of the AGPL is not included with the AGPLed JavaScript that's written by CiviCRM – understandably, since adding it would mean there's more license than JavaScript in most of the files.

      This issue can be resolved by adding an additional permission, like the one suggested at the bottom of <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html>, to the AGPLed JavaScript files.
