[Building Sakai] jsmath license

[Steve Swinsburg]

I've filed another Jira to add jsMath back into reference. It adds a  
bit of weight to the webapp build but I think it's worth it to bring a  
good math solution into Sakai. It's actively maintained as well.

http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17249

Comments and votes would be great.

thanks,
Steve
