The minification process, however, does *not* cause a problem. We can simply add the comments to the file(s) after the minification. It does mean we'll need to include, potentially, multiple license headers in one HTTP response, but that shouldn't cause much issue.
I am neither an engineer, nor a WMF staffer, but I want to throw a flag here anyway.
Yes, it will cause an issue. If that extra data is going in every reply, multiply its size by our replies per day count, won't you? I don't know what that number is, but I'm quite certain it's substantial.
*Every single byte* that goes in a place where it will be included in every reply directly affects our 95%ile data transfer, I should think, and thus our budget. Bytes are not always free.
