Depending on which grammar expert you ask, some people prefer "a, b, or
c" while others prefer "a, b or c" when listing three or more things
(the use of a comma before the conjunction that lists the last element
of a list).  I'm in the former group, but not strongly enough to request
that others change their habits.  So up to you if you want to add a
comma before that last "or".
