Hi, I'm trying to package EFF's Privacy Badger Firefox extension, which seems to have a lot of JavaScript and CSS code bundled. One of the bundled scripts is a SHA1 implementation from http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-sha1.html .
The licence as linked from http://www.webtoolkit.info/license1 seems to be CC-BY 2.0 UK, but the page states some additional restrictions if I'm reading it correctly. Is this free enough for inclusion in Fedora or should I talk to the author about clarifying/relicencing?
Regards, Dominik

I guess that:
You can NOT sell the resources directly for profit (eg. Selling the items on stock resource websites)
is a blocker.

They seem to be adding restrictions to CC-BY that are not in the license terms, on distribution and commercial use, and those restrictions are non-free.
