Creativecommons used to have a nice web form that would give you the html you needed to paste licensing information into your markup. I'm at the train station right now though, and cannot easily check if they still do.

In a machine and human readable form so the LibreJS addon can read it.

By the way, it is (legally) enough if you leave it in the respective JavaScript file.

Most sites have a note in the footer along the lines of "All content on this site is licensed under MIT [link to license]" and so on

Found it:

https://creativecommons.org/share-y...

...and if you have a specific license in mind, you can just adapt the pasted markup for it.

@sbiewald All the js code is minimized and obfuscated. Does that count?

@ColdFore Should be fine then (especially since many open source JS libraries are already published in some minified version).

Of course, showing the sources in a more prominent manner does not hurt either.
