[dev] Non-free License in ansel

Hi,

While packaging ansel for Debian, we encountered js/src/lightbox.js
([1]) which is CC-by 2.5.
Unfortunately, this license is considered non-free by Debian [2]
(version 3.0 is OK).

Question to the lightbox maintainer, Lokesh Dhakar:
- Would you upgrade the license to 3.0 or choose another DFSG license?

Question to Ansel maintainers:
- In the case of upstream license upgrade, would you relicense your
local modifications too?
- In the other case and for a quick integration in Debian, is there a
safe way to make ansel work without this file?

Thanks for all your work and fun ;)
