[tim at elizabeth ~]$ grep js /var/log/rpmpkgs
js-1.60-2.fc7.i386.rpm

I thought it was from one of the standard Fedora repositories.
I see it is described in

<http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/7/i386/js-1.60-2.fc7.i386.html>

as a Fedora 7 package, though I admit I do not find it 
in my local repository.

The entry above says it is in the Development/Languages group.
