That's because there wasn't one. But if one wishes to partition the stuff in Debian main into "software" and "non-software", one will need to amend the Social Contract to discuss how we handle, and what standards we apply to, non-software. The Debian Social Contract says "Debian Will Remain 100% Free Software". If there are things "in Debian" that are "not free" or "not software", then we may be violation of our guiding principles. -- G.
