6These are the core commitments of the GNU Project, which creates and
7distributes a software system that respects users' freedoms.

9## The GNU Project respects users' freedoms
10
11The GNU Project provides software that guarantees to all users the
12_Four Essential Freedoms_, without compromise:
13 0. The freedom to run the program as they wish, for any purpose.
14 1. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does
15 their computing as they wish.
16 2. The freedom to redistribute copies so they can help others.
17 3. The freedom to distribute copies of their modified versions to others.
18
19The GNU Project adopts policies that encourage and enable developers
20to actively defend user freedom. These policies include using
21_copyleft licenses_, designed to ensure that users’ freedoms cannot be
22stripped off, when appropriate.
23
24Besides upholding the Four Essential Freedoms, the GNU Project pays
25attention to new threats to users' freedom, and responds to them as they
26arise.

29## The GNU Project provides a consistent system
30
31The GNU Project develops an operating system, the _GNU System_, as well as
32a set of applications. Each software component developed by the GNU Project
33is referred to as a _GNU package_. GNU package developers work together to
34ensure consistency across packages.
35
36
37## The GNU Project collaborates with the broader free software community
38
39The GNU Project works together with other free software projects to
40advance its goals, and aims to extend the reach of the project beyond
41the GNU System.
42
43
44## The GNU Project welcomes contributions from all and everyone
45
46The GNU Project commits to providing a harassment-free
47experience for all contributors. It wants to give everyone the
48opportunity of contributing to its efforts on any of the many tasks that
49require work. It welcomes all contributors, regardless of their gender,
50ethnicity, sexual orientation, level of experience, or any other
51personal characteristics.
