Hello, I'm the author of reStructuredText and the Docutils project
lead (http://docutils.sf.net). We added S5 support to Docutils about a
year ago and it has been very successful. A lot of people used it for
their talks at PyCon in February. I'm glad to see S5 becoming a
community project.

Question: what is the license status of S5 now? Eric Meyer originally
placed S5 in the public domain, but now MochiKit is being included;
MochiKit is dual-licensed (MIT License or the Academic Free License
v2.1 according to http://mochikit.com/doc/html/MochiKit/index.html).
Is MochiKit now a requirement for S5 to work at all, or will S5 work
without MochiKit?

I ask because Docutils, also public domain, includes the S5 1.1 files.
We'll have to take any licenses into consideration before we switch to
S5 1.2.
