Re: what is GNU? what is a social contract?

Hi Daniel, unfortunately this is currently not the case. "The" social contract, as you call it, is the creation of a few people who'd like RMS to step down not just from the FSF as he did, but also lose his GNU project. They are hostile towards the GNU project. Therefore, there is nothing to

what is GNU? what is a social contract?

To correctly talk about things like the social contract, I feel it is first necessary to define what GNU means Each person may have a slightly different answer. When talking about a social contract or any other document like that: it is a bit like the Bible or the Koran: people can interpret
