General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
A mostly reasonable approach to JavaScript
Note: this guide assumes you are using Babel, and requires that you use babel-preset-airbnb or the equivalent. It also assumes you are installing shims/polyfills in your app, with airbnb-browser-shims or the equivalent.
This guide is available in other languages too. See Translation
