I don't have an opinion on what should be displayed or not (at least not
yet).  However I think there is an issue with FSDG compliance here, when
upstream includes non-free stuff for the same reason that 'guix build
--source PACKAGE' is required by FSDG to provide a cleaned version of the
tarball.

"source-uris" should point to the same thing that 'guix build -S
PACKAGE' provides however in our current infrastructure this is not
possible.

For the same reason I think Emacs interface should not display the
origin URL of those packages.  I Don't know how to achieve this, maybe
displaying only the URL when there is no snippet part would work even if
it will remove more package source URLs than needed.

WDYT?
