I mean project on this url[1] is not Open Source not Gambit itself, so in
order to make Gambit in try.scheme.org you need to create everything from
scratch. You can't even use files that are hosted there.
There are no license of any kind in GitHub pages source repo[2]. So it mean
that all those files are proprietary. intf.js have copyright note, but in fact
it's not required for something to be copyrighted.
