38
39The goal of the GNU Social Contract is to state the core values GNU
40maintainers who have endorsed it are committed to uphold. It is both
41an agreement among us, GNU contributors, and a pledge to the broader
42free software community.
43
44Additionally, we think it can be a first step towards formalizing a
45transparent and collective governance of the GNU Project.
46
47This initiative is not supported by Richard Stallman. Nevertheless,
48we consider it a legitimate action by and for GNU maintainers to
49collectively define the core values we believe GNU stands for.
