1) How can JS ever be considered 'free' (and benign) when it's pushed to
the client browser at run-time from an external server? Until it's
received (at page load time), no user can possibly know what its
contents truly are.
1.1) Even if a user had something like a set of HOSTS file entries
redirecting the HTTP requests for JS to a local repository, the
local JS repository would need to be kept up-to-date, BUT ...
1.2) Once a local repository exists, the JS being pushed no longer
needs to be 'free' because it won't be used anyway; All that's
required is API compatibility.
2) For me (IFF: I were to adopt your position re: github) your solution
sounds insufficient, because it wouldn't impose upon github a legal
commitment not to inject proprietary JS in the future.
