-The Systemic Laws are explained below.
-
-## Everyone belongs
-
-Every contributor and their contributions and achievements are recognised.
-This further encourages people to contribute; they feel welcome, and their
-efforts valued.
-
-## Everyone is respected and honoured, past and present
-
-When someone leaves a project, particularly under less than ideal circumstances,
-it is still vitally important to value and respect both them *and* their
-contributions.  
-
-## Role, Seniority and Expertise are all respected.
-
-This can be very challenging, particularly when someone with more expertise
-meets someone whose length of service is greater.  
-
-## We accept the responsibility of our position
-
-If we choose a position of responsibility, we must actually acknowledge and
-accept the responsibility of that role!  People will be relying on us.
-
-## Everyone is rewarded equitably for their contributions
-
-In a "Libre" context this is often extremely hard to do, as the normal
-rules of profit-maximising business (do not provide goods or services
-until payment has been received) do not apply: our "product" - the
-source code - is made available at zero monetary cost.  So it is down
-to us to ensure that part of our time is spent ensuring that everyone
-is actually rewarded, whether through sponsorship, donations, crowd-funding
-and profit-sharing in the same, and so on.
-
-## Everyone is responsible and accountable (for the "good" *and* the "bad")
-
-When we do something well, it is vital that we (alone) own and hold the
-credit for that achievement.  When we screw up, it is just as equally
-vital that we take responsibility for cleaning up our mess, and that
-nobody else is blamed *or think they own it*!  In this way, two things
-happen.  Firstly: we can rely on each other, as we trust that the tasks
-that others chose will be completed (even if they mess up a few times).
-Secondly: in our chosen opportunity to grow and learn, we know and trust
-that nobody will take that away from us, and that our achievements and
-the credit will be ours.
