Code copyright depends on who wrote said code. That page has its
authors, and since there is no copyright notice by default the code is
under copyright by them.

However, no one will care (or know) if you copy that code and put it
under a free license. Pretty sure the authors though the same way, and
they probably copied from somewhere else.

If you copy code from the Internet without knowing what it does, you are
off to a bad start.

> If the JavaScript is free (or can be made free),

Check out GNU's LibreJS page for that
(https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/free-your-javascript.html)

JavaScript goes inside tags, and you also need to include
JQuery for that example.

Even when some script comes with no license or minified, it is sometimes still possible to find it somewhere else on the interenet (usually in some GitHub repo) in a raw form and with a free license. I recommend you search for it
