A purley GNU system includes, by defintion, non-GNU packages -- see

With that said, I am fully in support of having a couple of succinct
documents that describe the structure and mission of the GNU project.
Richard has also expressed interest in that. I just don't see any need
of enacting them as the basis of a formal pledge.
