Open Stack

I agree - it's not a viral license, and we're not shipping it anyway.

I'm going to go back to the original thing:

"
Recently we have been discussing the topic of Javascript linters for 
Horizon and Tuskar-UI with Radomir, and he told me that JSLint and 
JSHint can not be integrated into the test environment due to some 
license issues."

This is just not true. In fact, we have a full grunt-based jslint gate 
on storyboard-webclient running in infra currently. It's integrated with 
tox even.

I suggest:

a) use jslint
b) use it via grunt
c) use grunt via tox and nodeenv
d) use the job templates we have in infra to run this sort of thing

I'm happy to help point people to how this works.
