| 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. | ||
