WebConsole Configuration Status enhancement

Hi all,

For FELIX-1171 [1] I am using the TabWorld script from [2]. This script
has no license attached and is free for use according to its author (quote):

    TabWorld by Tanner Hildebrand is free to use for any purpose,
    commercial or otherwise. The user of the script may modify,
    distribute, sell, use, or publish this script at their discretion.
    The uses are unrestricted and may only be restricted if the user is
    found to be guilty (by a U.S. court only) of a criminal act that
    involves this script.

    Please enjoy and use this script as you wish to its fullest
    potential.


I don't think that this "license" poses any issue to us. My question is
more, how to make notice of this.

I could imaging placing this text in a LICENSE.tabworld file and refer
to it in the NOTICE file:

I guess your proposal sounds reasonable, but I would recommend 
contacting Tanner Hildebrand and ask him if he could release under a 
well-known license (e.g., BSD), because it makes it is better to have a 
well-known license so people don't have to wonder about it.
