Thanks for your feedback. I have added a little bit of background to
that
hopefully clarifies the situation:
The goal of the GNU Social Contract is to state the core values
GNU maintainers who have endorsed it are committed to uphold. It
is both an agreement among us, GNU contributors, and a pledge to
the broader free software community.
Additionally, we think it can be a first step towards formalizing
a transparent and collective governance of the GNU Project.
This initiative is not supported by Richard Stallman.
Nevertheless, we consider it a legitimate action by and for GNU
maintainers to collectively define the core values we believe GNU
stands for.
Cheers,
Mark
