> When you visit a website such as Gmail, your browser will download and
> run several thousand lines of JavaScript code. This JavaScript code is
> no different to other programming languages -- applications written in
> those languages running on our computers should be free software, so we
> can run, modify and share them if we wish.

> While some people have already made free software that alters and

> Google, who may change it at any time.

> So, while it's clear that JavaScript is a very powerful and useful
> technology in the right hands, we're calling on Google and others to
> step up and let people make useful, interesting contributions available
> to others, by releasing the JavaScript code as free software for Gmail
> users to modify.

> Check out our guide to using Gmail without JavaScript and send us your
