Will file header be a good place? Note that there is little point adding the reasons behind supporting non-free software if they cannot be easily found. Ideally, it should be a standard place documented as code convention. Then, people can consistently check the reasons (or lack of) behind each individual non-free software support decision. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
