Re: [orion-dev] Using es5-shim.js license question

Hi Kris,

Is the issue just Function.bind -- if so I think we already have a shim in org.eclipse.orion.client.editor/web/orion/editor/editor.js (line 853) that we could separate out and use.
FWIW this is an issue that we're most definitely aware of ... see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26382 -- It's actually fixed now so hopefully we'll see it the next release of Safari.
Also see -- http://kangax.github.com/es5-compat-table/

Safari is the only browser not to provide an implementation of Function.bind and what's more across the browsers we try to support this is also the only real missing piece of es5 functionality. So... I noticed that while submitting the CQ but really do not want to introduce something like the es5-shim unless we really need to (as an aside, the license is fine but the issue is nearly always determining provenance).

We've found that gcli interface isn't working on Safari. Problem is some missing ECMA-5 function called 'bind'.

Gcli demo code deals with this situation by loading up a copy of this script to bring browser up to spec:
https://raw.github.com/kriskowal/es5-shim/master/es5-shim.js

I want to include a copy of this script also with our orion-gcli code...

It has MIT license.

Questions
 1) is this license ok?
 2) do we need to start the legal process for getting approval for this piece of code?

Kris
