This proposal replaces the amendment I submitted earlier today. This
version removes "Linux" from the title and spells out who the contract
is with. I also fix the grammatical mistake Sven found.
We will change the title of the social contract to read:
Debian's Social Contract with its Users
We will change parts 1 and 5 of the social contract to read as follows:
1. Debian Will Remain 100% Free Software
Debian exists to distribute a general purpose system composed of
entirely free software. As there are many definitions of free
software, we use the "Debian Free Software Guidelines" to determine
if software is free. We will also support our users who develop
and run other software on Debian -- free or non-free -- but we will
never make the system depend on an item of non-free software.
and
5. Programs That Don't Meet Our Free-Software Standards
We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of programs
that don't conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We
support interoperability standards such as "Linux System Base", and
will accept bug reports where our system violates those standards.
To make our system more attractive to people with mild dependencies
on non-free software, we have created "contrib" and "non-free" areas
in our internet archive. The software in these directories is not
needed by most people, and we do not guarantee all software in the
non-free area may be distributed in other ways. Thus, although
we're working to reduce people's dependence on non-free software,
we support users who are still dependent. Additionally, we will
work to provide free alternatives to non-free software so people who
use only free software can work with users of non-free software.
