I tried to check these links.  I think it needs some clarification:
There is no real doubt that the code is GPL.  The main problem is that
we need to have the source code of the files that were used and which
could be used to reproduce the compressed *.js files.  I did not found
those very files which we could include as copy into the package.

It seems these *.js files could be fetched from VCS and these are OK.

In short:  If we do not find the real source files of the part above
we should probably remove them from the gnumed-client tarball and
drop the gnumed-doc package (which would be a shame IMHO).

Kind regards

          Andreas.
