FWIW, in my opinion there are five distinct changes that your proposal
attempts to make to the social contract [1]:
1. Remove the language saying the DFSG is "below", which makes the
social contract and the DFSG separate. (3)
2. Expand our committment to freedom beyond software. (4)
3. Changes to SC #3 that state that project discussions will be held in
public forums, and a comittment to "transparency and accountability
in our decision-making process". (9)
4. The removal of SC #5, and therewith the withdrawl of our committment
to provide a non-free section. (13)
5. All editorial changes.
Changes #1 and #4 are substantive changes. It could be argued that #3 is
really just an attempt to clarify, not to substantively change anything.
Again, this is just my view of your proposal.
