 Subject: [PATCH 01/13] Point to local omni.ja files, not remote server
 
-Basically replace every occurrence of Remote Settings server domain name
+This patch series tries to remove any network communication with Remote
+Settings [1], which can be used by Mozilla to silently push data to client
+browsers. This data can include references to nonfree software, for example,
+to search engines or other websites that contain nonfree JavaScript code.
+Without this patching, it would be hard to make sure the browser does not
+violate paragraph 4 of [2]: "Programs in the system should not suggest
+installing nonfree plugins, documentation, and so on."
+
+Changes in the current patch:
+First of all, replace every occurrence of Remote Settings server domain name
 with URIs that point to built-in local files within omni.ja.
 
 Some links to json files may point to non-existing files, but that's OK
 because it's better than leave them point to Remote Settings server.
 If necessary, missing files can be added later.
