We kicked SOPA's ass, looks like it's time to do some more kicking!
That site is recommending serving a proprietary script to users:
http://widget.battleforthenet.com/widget.min.js
No license notice, and no link to the source code. You'd think the source code would be this:
http://widget.battleforthenet.com/widget.js
But nope, it doesn't seem to be the case. There's no way any programmer would write a program like that; I certainly can't read it. And again, no license notice.
This isn't unusual on the Web, but it's still a problem with this thing.
The source code is here: https://github.com/fightforthefuture/battleforthenet-widget/blob/master/widget.js. Unfortunately, they didn't use JS web labels (or put the tags in the file, but web labels were invented for minified scripts) to document the license. They put proper tags in the unminified version, though.
CISPA is back by th way...
