Description Jonathan Riddell 2014-10-28 12:33:21 UTC
The released telepathy-qt tars contain a minified version of the file jquery.js.  This doesn't seem to be in git but must be taken from doxygen somehow.  minified files are compiled and so non-free by any sane definition.  Please ship the full jquery.js file.

This is how Doxygen works.
http://apt-browse.org/browse/ubuntu/trusty/main/i386/doxygen/1.8.6-2/file/usr/share/doc/doxygen/README.jquery

Feel free to not use documentation from tar and generate your own. (The target for make is "doxygen-doc")
Comment 2 Jonathan Riddell 2015-09-07 09:04:20 UTC
It might be how Doxygen works but it's not free software and can't be included in Ubuntu or other free software Linux distributions.  It's extremely inconvenient to have to alter the telepathy-qt released tars with every update and it goes against the principles of freedesktop.org which are about free software.  It would be greatly appreciated if you could make the tar by default generate its own rather than include non-free software in it.
