It is because of this that our social contract will +always follow the philosophy of free knowledge. All the amendments to +this social contract must be faithful to the spirit of the [Free +Software Movement](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software_movement). + +1. **Parabola GNU/Linux is libre software:** it will follow the [GNU + free system distribution + guidelines](http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html), + so it doesn't include or recommend proprietary software or + documentation and it does not provide any type of support for their + installation or execution. This includes: proprietary software, + binary only firmware or [binary + blobs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_blob). +2. **Parabola GNU/Linux and other distributions:** Parabola's objective + is to support the free software movement so we only need to compete + against nonfree software. Parabola will strive to support other free + software projects as best it can and any information from our + project will be available for anybody who needs it. That includes + our packages and repositories. +3. **Parabola GNU/Linux and its community:** our community is + democratic in its essence, so the community is included whenever + there is a need to take a decision. We encourage community + participation in the development of the project. +4. **Parabola GNU/Linux and ArchLinux:** Parabola is the free version + of [ArchLinux](http://www.archlinux.org/). We provide repositories + and installation images without any nonfree software. We respect + Arch's KISS philosophy (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and its + developing process. In that sense, Parabola will always maintain + retro compatibility with Arch so as to help free already + working installations. + |
