OK. IANAL.

Maybe (again IANAL).

But the pointer is weak, as in  
http://git.horde.org/co.php/horde/js/plupload/plupload.js?rt=horde-git&r=e8c31ad15ad632b81f29937e90548ac6e550012f, where it points to http://www.plupload.com/license that you don't control in any  
way.

Why don't you simply do like  
/framework/Mime_Viewer/js/syntaxhighlighter where there is a "script"  
directory and a "src" one? This is just some kilobits more ...

I won't argue more, this is your decision, feel free to close this report.
