I voted against the SC change back in 2004, and I haven't changed my mind. I second the proposal quoted below. > ---- > The Debian Project resolves that: > (a) The Social Contract shall be reverted to its original form, > as at http://www.debian.org/social_contract.1.0 > (b) The term "software" as used in the Social Contract shall be > presumed only to cover programs, scripts, libraries and similar > executable works to be executed directly as part of the Debian > System. > (c) In addition to the commitments made in the Social Contract, > the Debian System shall only include documentation, images, > sounds, video, fonts and similar works that meet the Debian > Free Software Guidelines, and are available in some reasonably > modifiable form. > (d) Notwithstanding the above, the Debian Free Software Guidelines > shall not be applied to logos, firmware or the text of copyright > licenses that may be included in the Debian System. > (e) Following the release of etch, the Debian Project Leader shall: > i. ensure that the Debian community has a good understanding > of the technical and legal issues that prevent the Debian > Free Software Guidelines from being applied to logos and > firmware in a manner that meets the needs of our users; > ii. ensure that project resources are made available to > people working on addressing those issues; > iii. provide a report to the Debian community on progress achieved > in these areas at DebConf 7 in Edinburgh. > (f) Following the release of etch, the Debian Project as a whole shall > reopen the question of which commitments should be codified in the > project's Social Contract. This shall including both an online > consultation with Debian users, Debian derivatives and the free > software community, and a public in-person discussion and debate > at DebConf 7 in Edinburgh in honour of the 10th anniversary of > the original publication of the Social Contract on the 4th > of July 1997. > ---- -- ,''`. : :' : Romain Francoise <rfrancoise@debian.org> `. `' http://people.debian.org/~rfrancoise/ `-
