How to view-source a Chrome extension

I think it should be mentioned that just because the source code is viewable doesn't mean it's Open Source. The link doesn't claim this, but I still think it's important to note.

Learn from but don't copy unless you find a source code license.

Perhaps another reason that developers may want to use Google's Closure Compiler which in addition to minifying/compressing analyzes code, removes unused code and other mod_pagespeed-like best practice implementation magic: http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/
