The social contract of Parabola GNU/kNuBSD-fire is a commitment of the
distribution with the libre software community in general and its users
in particular. 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/kNuBSD-fire 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/kNuBSD-fire 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/kNuBSD-fire 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/kNuBSD-fire
    Philosophy](https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/Parabola_GNU/kNuBSD-fire#Philosophy):**
    We respect [Parabola GNU/kNuBSD-fire
    Philosophy](https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/Parabola_GNU/kNuBSD-fire#Philosophy)
    that is based of KISS/YAGNI/DRY and its developing process.
