 Many free software advocates don't want to run proprietary JavaScript code
 in their browsers. The Free Software Foundation has releases a Firefox
 extension called LibreJS that blocks non-free JavaScript from running:
 https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/

 WordPress is released under the GPLv2 license, but LibreJS still blocks
 WordPress JavaScript files because they don't have the appropriate license
 blocks.

 To fix this, we can either add comments to the top of each .js file with
 the license, or we can use JavaScript web labels to define the license for
 each js file in HTML.

 Here are instructions for marking your JavaScript as free so that LibreJS
 users will execute it:
