Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 webkitgtk: confusing license statement for jsmin.py


Qoute from IRC:
"""
17:57 < nthykier> paultag: Re: #732095 - it is marked serious, but
reading the log suggests we might not have a license issue after all.
Do you agree with the assertion and can we downgrade the bug?
17:58 < paultag> I'm skeptical, but if upstream doesn't feel that it's
derived, I see no reason to try and enforce that in Debian
17:58 < paultag> feel free to -done it
"""

In light of that, I have decided to downgrade the severity to non-RC.  I
still believe it would be prudent to get the update to avoid "future"
confusion, which is why I left the bug open.
