No specific license seems to have been applied to this, other than
"free to use"

I tried integrating this into admin on my dev install, and it's an
easy task to put it in there. It seems to work pretty well too. Am I
jumping into a waspsnest again, or is this plausible?

Looks promising, I would wait to push it until Safari 3 final is out,
since from doco it doesn't play well with Safari 2

Nice find.

Ok, so file a ticket and patch my own local install. :-)

The preamble text on the source looks a lot like an MIT license to me.

It seems like a good candidate to test how we could deploy a plugin
that adds a shared library. There's got to get a better way than
"copy file X to directory Y, copy file A to directory B, then
activate".

Yes, but it's not specifically noted as MIT.

Right. I would love to be able to ship this is a non-core plugin.

True, but the MIT license doesn't say "This is the MIT license"
either, and probably more importantly, the license text is identical:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

There's also no requirement that a non-core plugin be Apache
License-compatible. Even make a GPL plugin if you want to.

Sure, but if we stick in in -contrib it's another question.
