-------------------------------------------

I emailed the author and asked if the terms can be clarified. In the event I need some Japanese assistance I know who to ask :-).

> Hello,
> I'm writing in regards to Debian Bug [#758558|https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758558].  It seems that the file share/www/script/base64.js is licensed under terms that are vague enough to perhaps be unenforceable.  The license matches no known open source license, and though the authors intent is clear to open source it to some extent, the question is with what restrictions.  Defining it as "free" is not enough to meet the DFSG requirements in my mind, and I wanted to raise it to your attention in the case that it doesn't match yours either.
