[Pkg-javascript-devel] twemoji.js in non-free?

hi Debian-js,

unfortunately, twemoji (SVGs for unicode emojis open sourced by
twitter) contains a generated file without source:
  https://github.com/twitter/twemoji-parser/blob/master/src/lib/regex.js

Justine De Caires <jdecaires at twitter.com> wrote:
"Unfortunately, the generating script for that regex is an entire
internal library written in Scala which isn't set up to be easily
open-sourced. It's definitely something we would like to open source in
the future, but not something we have the resources to do right now (or
even within the next few months)."

If you agree then I will package twemoji.js for non-free, and generate a
separate binary package twemoji-data for main (is that even possible?)
I really would like to have the SVGs in main.

Cheers and Best Regards,
