True, but if you just append the info to the exe file, it is an abuse ;-)
And there are no restrictions with regard to the information you want
to store.
There are no restrictions doing it properly with resources - you don't
have to just use the VERSIONINFO resource (although you should, as vast
numbers of other tools understand it), you can add whatever custom
resources you like.
