You mean the same 'free software' blurb that comes with almost every single
Linux distribution?   Debian has their 'Social Contract'.    Everyone I
know who's using Devuan, is using it because systemd is removed.
Who exactly is "us"?  Am I not part of "us"?  Are the sysadmins using
Devuan not with "us"?  Maybe by "us", you really mean "you"?
For a distro that needs help, you're sure doing your best alienating people
trying to help out.
