The emphasis is on give *opportunity* to contribute (...) *regardless* of their gender etc. (...) *harassment-free* (...). It does not mean that bad contributions need to be accepted, or those where the copyright assignments are not done correctly, and so on.

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_exclusion#Social_inclusion
"Social exclusion, marginalization or social marginalisation is the
social disadvantage and relegation to the fringe of society. It is a
term used widely in Europe and was first used in France."
But GNU was never discriminatory.
If anyone claims different, give me the facts.
