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

             Summary: Replace/remove javascript functions with share-alike license
                 Key: MYFACES-4736
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4736
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: General
    Affects Versions: 4.1.2
            Reporter: Florian Schwarz


Some javascript function, e.g. _mozMatchesSelector in /META-INF/resources/jakarta.faces/faces-development.js, line 7152, contain a comment 
{code:java}
// source: https:// developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/matches
// code snippet license: https:// creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ {code}
From my understanding, this by-sa (share-alike) means, that if one uses myfaces in its project, one has to use also the CC-BY-SA-2.5 license for his project ([https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/deed.en] ). So I wanted to ask if it would be possible to replace  or remove those functions, allowing users of myfaces to use a different license.
