Hm, okay. I’m not familiar with all those things, which is
why I thought to ask the maintainers who know about it ;)

That’s packaged, so… good ☻

Oh, I see. This looks like a fair amount of hassle,
especially the attitude of the Crockfordists.

I’m not familiar with nodejs packaging… but is there
a free alternative to jshint which we could just patch
in so that users of grunt wanting to run jshint would
just get the free one? (Or maybe stub it out entirely?)

Speaking “professionally” (i.e. for my employer), it’s
fine if grunt would end up in non-free, for now (which
would make our FusionForge variant technically into
contrib/ but we’re not uploading it to the archive so
it’s moot). We don’t have any substantial knowledge on
nodejs inhouse, either.

No, but I’ll peek at the Alioth pipermail archives
to see whether I got answers. (My interest here is
purely that of “user” in the sense that I maintain
packages that depend on this stuff.)
