5 | # GNU Social Contract 1.0 | ||
6 | |||
7 | These are the core commitments of the GNU Project, which creates and | ||
8 | distributes a software system that respects users' freedoms. | ||
9 | |||
10 | ## The GNU Project respects users' freedoms | ||
11 | |||
12 | The GNU Project provides software that guarantees to all users the | ||
13 | _Four Essential Freedoms_, without compromise: | ||
14 | 0. The freedom to run the program as they wish, for any purpose. | ||
15 | 1. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does | ||
16 | their computing as they wish. | ||
17 | 2. The freedom to redistribute copies so they can help others. | ||
18 | 3. The freedom to distribute copies of their modified versions to others. | ||
19 | |||
20 | The GNU Project adopts policies that encourage and enable developers | ||
21 | to actively defend user freedom. These policies include using | ||
22 | _copyleft licenses_, designed to ensure that users’ freedoms cannot be | ||
23 | stripped off, when appropriate. | ||
24 | |||
25 | Besides upholding the Four Essential Freedoms, the GNU Project pays | ||
26 | attention to new threats to users' freedom, and responds to them as they | ||
27 | arise. | ||
28 | |||
29 | |||
30 | ## The GNU Project provides a consistent system | ||
31 | |||
32 | The GNU Project develops an operating system, the _GNU System_, as well as | ||
33 | a set of applications. Each software component developed by the GNU Project | ||
34 | is referred to as a _GNU package_. GNU package developers work together to | ||
35 | ensure consistency across packages. | ||
36 | |||
37 | |||
38 | ## The GNU Project collaborates with the broader free software community | ||
39 | |||
40 | The GNU Project works together with other free software projects to | ||
41 | advance its goals, and aims to extend the reach of the project beyond | ||
42 | the GNU System. | ||
43 | |||
44 | |||
45 | ## The GNU Project welcomes contributions from all and everyone | ||
46 | |||
47 | The GNU Project commits to providing a harassment-free | ||
48 | experience for all contributors. It wants to give everyone the | ||
49 | opportunity of contributing to its efforts on any of the many tasks that | ||
50 | require work. It welcomes all contributors, regardless of their gender, | ||
51 | ethnicity, sexual orientation, level of experience, or any other | ||
52 | personal characteristics. | ||
