Revision of Trisquel Community Guidelines from Fri, 10/03/2014 - 03:27
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
This is a work in progress:
Software Freedom
Trisquel is a free GNU/Linux distribution. It supports peoples' liberty, privacy, and market-freedom.
Users may audit/study, run, distribute, and modify Trisquel. And distribute your modified copies. When we say that trisquel is "free", we mean that it supports these freedoms.
Non-free software may slip into our system, despite our efforts. We will be vigilant, and will remove non-free software when we find it.
Our community supports the Free Software Movement.
- Community members will not use Trisquel resources to distribute, recommend, or support 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 GNU Lesser General Public License is acceptable in some circumstances.
- Please avoid certain misnomers and propaganda terms. Keep in mind the spirit of free software and the GNU/Linux system.
- Free manuals are an essential part of free software packages. We will only include documentation released under an appropriate free license. The manuals we distribute will not recommend or suggest non-free software.
Respect
- Discrimination: Don't discriminate against people based on age, gender, sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion, ideology, ideas, social class, nationality, race, intelligence, or any analogous grounds.
- Profanity: Express yourself without hard language (i.e. cursing). Social norms differ from place to place. Hard language can deter people from visiting our site, and 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.
Collaboration with Open Source Proponents
[is this relevant to this page?]- Although our guiding principles differ from open source supporters, we share some common ground with them. We are happy to collaborate on practical activities with the open source supporters.
Notes
- Parts of these guidelines were adapted from gNewSense GNU/Linux's Community Guidelines. It is licensed under "GFDL with no invariant sections".
