Open Source Licensing for button javascript?

[Sean Dague]

I'm curious what the licensing terms of the javascript that creates the
RSVP buttons is (http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/buttons/), and if it
could be put out under an open source license?

I'd like to integrate that function into the drupal meetup_events module
which is GPL. It also requires some changes to function in that
environment. The first is to switch everything to JQuery.noConflict() so
that I can use it with the existing jquery in Drupal (1.2 in D6, and the
meetup code needs the JSON functions in 1.4).

Additionally, because I will not be fetching the JS from the meetup
site, I'm going to have to launch it a bit differently. The oauth id is
going to be coming from the Drupal preferences. And, lastly, I'm adding
a setting (either automatically or manually, not sure yet) that makes
the YES rsvp actually just go to the site, as integrating questions into
that popup isn't going to be UI sane.

Anyway, the short of it is: can the licensing terms on that JS file be
made open source so that I can take a fork into drupal meetup_events?
Would love to have the dynamic RSVP instead of going with just a static
link.

Thanks,

-Sean

Sounds great, I'll run under that assumption. You might want to
cherrypick this patch to do the jquery noConflict into the main code -

Cool. Another way to do that is to reference $ as your own named parameter in the outer self-executing anonymous function by passing jQuery in as a param

(function($){

   // $ is safe to use in here.

})(jQuery);

Is that going to work is this case? given that the jquery library is
being dynamically pulled and loaded within the function?

You are right. Good call.
