Since a lot of Free / Libre Software users will use the website in the end, and the website is mostly JavaScript software ( at the very least the parts that matter, like downloading ) that JavaScript software is important to be Free / Libre too. If it could be regarded as a part of blender.org than a link to https://www.blender.org/about/website/ could be enough. It states that the website ( including it's JavaScript ) is under CC-BY-SA. Which is a good enough license. If it is in fact a stand-alone project. Please provide some license to it and state the license.

Additionally please research making the JavaScript be recognized as Libre by a browser extension called LibreJS ( devtalk.blender.org has figured it out ).

For the records, as mentioned on the README, the Extensions Platform was "heavily inspired" by the Mozilla add-ons server which is BSD-3.

I don't know how much of the code of mozilla was actually used, but if this counts as modified then it probably needs to mention the Mozilla copyright on its own LICENSE file.
