Debian Social Contract

The Debian Social Contract is a set of principles that guides the Debian project, a community developing free software. It commits to providing software that is free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. Debian promises to prioritize the interests of users over commercial or political influences, ensuring transparency and quality. It also aims to offer a stable, reliable operating system while supporting collaborative development and shared progress. In essence, the contract reflects Debian’s dedication to free, open, and community-focused software that benefits everyone.
