1 Overview of Operational Dimmensions of Libre Services
2 Introduction
This is a placeholder document. This document is intended to provide a description of the general operational requirements for deployed Libre Services. For the moment the document consists only of section headings and brief placeholder text to indicate the intended content. We will provide complete information at some future time.
3 Libre Services Social Contract
Operators of Libre Services provide the services to end-user clients, and therefore their actions and practices affect those clients. The developers of Libre Services software create software for use by Libre Services operators, end users, and other software developers. Their actions and practices therefore affect all these constituencies.
To guide the practices of persons and organizations involved in the development and deployment of Libre Services, and to maintain the integrity of the resulting deployed services, Libre Services are based on a written social contract. In the same spirit as the Debian Social Contract, this consists of a set of ethical commitments made by Libre Services developers and operators towards the free software community and the public.
Continued definition of the Libre Services Social Contract is a Libre Services project maintained by the FPF.
4 General Libre Services SLA
The formal business relationship between operators and users of Internet services is typically defined in the form of a Service Level Agreement (SLA).
The General Libre Services SLA defines a general template that can be used by all Libre Services operators.
5 General Libre Services AUP
The usage guidelines and limitations imposed upon users of Internet services are typically specified in the form of an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
The General Libre Services AUP defines a general template that can be used by all Libre Services operators.
