3 | # GNU Social Contract 1.0 | ||
4 | --- | ||
5 | |||
6 | These are the core commitments of the GNU Project, which creates and | ||
7 | distributes a software system that respects users' freedoms. | ||
8 | |||
9 | ## The GNU Project respects users' freedoms | ||
10 | |||
11 | The 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 | |||
19 | The GNU Project adopts policies that encourage and enable developers | ||
20 | to actively defend user freedom. These policies include using | ||
21 | _copyleft licenses_, designed to ensure that users’ freedoms cannot be | ||
22 | stripped off, when appropriate. | ||
23 | |||
24 | Besides upholding the Four Essential Freedoms, the GNU Project pays | ||
25 | attention to new threats to users' freedom, and responds to them as they | ||
26 | arise. | ||
27 | |||
28 | |||
29 | ## The GNU Project provides a consistent system | ||
30 | |||
31 | The GNU Project develops an operating system, the _GNU System_, as well as | ||
32 | a set of applications. Each software component developed by the GNU Project | ||
33 | is referred to as a _GNU package_. GNU package developers work together to | ||
34 | ensure consistency across packages. | ||
35 | |||
36 | |||
37 | ## The GNU Project collaborates with the broader free software community | ||
38 | |||
39 | The GNU Project works together with other free software projects to | ||
40 | advance its goals, and aims to extend the reach of the project beyond | ||
41 | the GNU System. | ||
42 | |||
43 | |||
44 | ## The GNU Project welcomes contributions from all and everyone | ||
45 | |||
46 | The GNU Project commits to providing a harassment-free | ||
47 | experience for all contributors. It wants to give everyone the | ||
48 | opportunity of contributing to its efforts on any of the many tasks that | ||
49 | require work. It welcomes all contributors, regardless of their gender, | ||
50 | ethnicity, sexual orientation, level of experience, or any other | ||
51 | personal characteristics. | ||
