-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 making sure that everyone
-*is* actually rewarded, whether through contracts, 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 (nobody else takes the credit; we *accept*
-the credit).  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*, or tries to take it the task away from us!
-
-In this way, two vitally important 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, further, that our achievements and the credit
-will be ours.
-
+* Everyone is responsible - and accountable - for their actions; good and bad,
+  "Guilt" and "Merit" belong with whoever earned them.
