Making this a specific proposal for discussion/consideration:
I propose the wording of the first paragraph of C0.0 be modified from
"Regarding sending code that runs on the JavaScript platform, any such
code used by an important site function either (1) is free software, and
labeled properly for LibreJS <https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/> to
recognize as free, or (2) isn't necessary, so that the function works
properly even if JavaScript is disabled in the browser."
To
"Regarding sending code that runs on the JavaScript platform, any such
code used by an important site function either (1) is free software,
*either* labeled properly for LibreJS
<https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/> to recognize as free *or with a
human-verifiable reference that links to relevant source code and
license files*, or (2) isn't necessary, so that the function works
properly even if JavaScript is disabled in the browser.
(as a concrete example, I added a comment at
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/64#issuecomment-1531719
suggesting Codeberg could better direct people to the relevant source
code and licenses even prior to getting LibreJS functioning)

Th enext step is to see what other people have to say about it.
I'm the one who makes the decision but other people's arguments will
affect my conclusions.
