the javascript is really not the issue in this case - the "app
stores" themselves conflict directly with the FSDG; because
those websites offer downloads of non-free programs - also, if
the only purpose of those URLs, is to suggest to the user to
install some phone "app", then that suggestion itself would
conflict directly with the FSDG; because that would be condoning
the use of a non-free OS, merely because there are no free OS
for 99% of those phones - IMHO, even f-droid should not be
suggested formally, despite that it hosts only free software,
and probably is acceptable by the FSDG; because its mere
existence suggests the use of a non-free OS, and hopelessly
non-libre hardware

yea that is likely the problem - i got many whitespace errors
while applying the patches from the mailing list using `git am`
- it would not accept them otherwise - i fixed all the ones that
git was complaining about; but the patch itself maybe introduced
some more into the abslibe patches

oaken-source is looking into it now
