Since we wouldn't be modifying the libraries, we'd just be passing them
through, can we have option d:
d) Ship the libraries unmodified from upstream and include a link to where
they were obtained and where to obtain the non-minified sources.
Or is that not acceptable as per our own licensing? That is, since we're
shipping our sources as LGPLv2.1, do we need to ship the 3rdparty JS libraries
we use in their preferred form for modification?
PS: examples are licensed BSD.
