In FSF terms, it's the Expat licence.

Luckily, the full and corresponding source code is available. I think,
however, what you're asking is for is a pointer in a format that is
machine readable by LibreJS.

I had a look at that, it seems that the implementation of Web Labels
table:
a) doesn't support wildcarding or regexes
b) requires a physical link to be added to every page rather than
fetching from a known location.

Given that we are keen to avoid divergence from upstream, at a minimum
I would want to see the above added to LibreJS before we can reliably
produce a Web Label table. Do you know if there's plans to add this
functionality?
