+title: GNU Social Contract 1.0
+author: The GNU Assembly

+
+# GNU Social Contract 1.0
+
+These are the core commitments of the GNU Project, which creates and
+distributes a software system that respects users' freedoms.
+
+## The GNU Project respects users' freedoms
+
+The GNU Project provides software that guarantees to all users the
+_Four Essential Freedoms_, without compromise:
+  0. The freedom to run the program as they wish, for any purpose.
+  1. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does
+     their computing as they wish.
+  2. The freedom to redistribute copies so they can help others.
+  3. The freedom to distribute copies of their modified versions to others.
+
+The GNU Project adopts policies that encourage and enable developers
+to actively defend user freedom.  These policies include using
+_copyleft licenses_, designed to ensure that users’ freedoms cannot be
+stripped off, when appropriate.
+
+Besides upholding the Four Essential Freedoms, the GNU Project pays
+attention to new threats to users' freedom, and responds to them as they
+arise.
+
+
+## The GNU Project provides a consistent system
+
+The GNU Project develops an operating system, the _GNU System_, as well as
+a set of applications.  Each software component developed by the GNU Project
+is referred to as a _GNU package_.  GNU package developers work together to
+ensure consistency across packages.
+
+
+## The GNU Project collaborates with the broader free software community
+
+The GNU Project works together with other free software projects to
+advance its goals, and aims to extend the reach of the project beyond
+the GNU System.
+
+
+## The GNU Project welcomes contributions from all and everyone
+
+The GNU Project commits to providing a harassment-free
+experience for all contributors.  It wants to give everyone the
+opportunity of contributing to its efforts on any of the many tasks that
+require work.  It welcomes all contributors, regardless of their gender,
+ethnicity, sexual orientation, level of experience, or any other
+personal characteristics.
