Fair point. Paypal requires non-free javascript. Github as well, AFAIK. At the same time, according to GNU Coding standards: >> A web page recommends a program in an implicit but particularly >> strong way if it requires users to run that program in order to use >> the page.

While orgmode.org is not developed in the same repository with the Org mode itself, I have a gut feeling that we still have to follow GNU coding standards on the website. However, WORG contains links to various blogs, reddit, stackoverflow, and even youtube and it feels right. I notice that I am confused. I would like to hear Bastien's opinion on the topic. Best, Ihor
