It's worth mentioning that he seems to consider the free software
legal concerns around his license choice amusing and will
apparently, upon request, provide an exception to an organization
wishing to use his software for evil[1]. He has no interest in
changing the situation[2] in JSLint or derivatives (like JSHint)
even if that means that they can not be provided as part of
Debian[3] or similar legally-concerned distributions.

It's probably best to re-raise this question on the
legal-discuss at lists.openstack.org mailing list as well.
