You're right, it's not part of the social contract itself. I propose the
following text for the introduction. If you agree, I'll commit it to CVS.
<P>Debian, the producers of the Debian GNU/Linux system, have created the
<strong>Debian Social Contract</strong>. The contract, initially designed
as as a set of commitments that we agree to abide by, has been adopted by
the majority of the free software community as the basis of the
<a href="http://www.opensource.org/";>Open Source</a> movement.
The splitting of the files will have to wait until I have a half hour to
kill looking for links that will break.
