Trisquel Community Guidelines
Trisquel offers software users a fully free GNU/Linux distribution. Likewise we are guided by the spirit of freedom and wish to contribute to a breakthrough in education by promoting free software. We will always remain gentle and persistent in our efforts for a fair treatment of software users and developers. Trisquel is committed to the philosophy of the Free Software Movement. The following suggestions represent the course we are headed in as set forth by the Trisquel community:- Trisquel GNU/Linux is and will always remain entirely free software as defined by the Free Software Foundation. We will not distribute, recommend, or otherwise support non-free software. Inevitably, non-free software might slip through into the system. Upon discovering non-free software we will undertake its removal.
- The Trisquel community recognizes the importance of free manuals as an essential part to any free software package. We will only include documentation released under an appropriate free license. Additionally, it must take care not to recommend or suggest non-free software.
- The Trisquel community will make all of its contributions available as free software. We prefer the strongest free software license, the GNU General Public License, as it best secures and defends software users' freedom. The narrow conditions leading to sensible use of the GNU Lesser General Public License will also be considered when determining the best license to use.
- The Trisquel project is part of the Free Software Movement and supports the movement's philosophy. We are happy to collaborate on practical activities with the supporters of open source, but that is not what we call what we do. We ask those editing the Trisquel community wiki, posting to the forum, and using the mailing list to please avoid certain misnomers and propaganda terms and to keep in mind the spirit of free software and the GNU/Linux system.
- Non-Free software is never a solution so please do not rationalize, justify, or minimize the consequences of proposing non-free software as a solution.
Code of conduct
- Non-discrimination policy: Our community is an inclusive one. We do not tolerate discrimination. This includes discrimination based on race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, class, intelligence, and any analogous grounds.
- Language: Express yourself without hard language (e.g. cursing). Hard language could deter people from visiting our site, or from getting involved in our community.
- Personal attacks: We don't tolerate personal attacks here. We encourage discussion. Disagree with others and challenge their ideas. Don't feed the trolls. Please report any flaming/flame-baiting to a moderator using the contact page.
Notes
- Parts of these guidelines were adapted from gNewSense GNU/Linux's Community Guidelines. It is licensed under "GFDL with no invariant sections".
