+<h2 class="chapter">14 Humor and GNU</h2>
+
+<p>In GNU, we appreciate humor in our work.
+</p>
+<p>GNU is a project of hackers, and
+<a href="https://stallman.org/articles/on-hacking.html";>hacking means
+playful cleverness</a>. Even the name “GNU” is an example of
playful
+cleverness—it is a
+<a href="https://gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html";>recursive acronym for
+“GNU’s Not Unix.”</a>
+</p>
+<p>In that spirit, we prize occasional doses of humor in GNU packages.
+Humor is not mandatory in a GNU package; we do not tell maintainers,
+“Make users smile, or else!” But when maintainers do that, we too
+smile.
+</p>
+<p>Nowadays, our humor-positive approach occasionally encounters direct,
+blanket opposition. Some people advocate, and even demand, removal of
+jokes from software packages simply because they are jokes. We shrug
+off that point of view.
+</p>
+<p>Jokes are subject to the same sorts of issues and criticism as other
+writing. Sometimes there is a valid objection to text which is
+humorous, so we do not defend every joke obtusely to the bitter end.
+But <em>the fact that it is a joke</em> is not a valid objection.
+</p>
+<p>There are people who frown on anything that is slightly risqué or
+controversial, including jokes. It would be a terrible shame for that
+attitude to prevail, so our policy is that the occasional risqué joke
+is ok. GNU is a 21st century project, not a 19th.
+</p>

+<h2 class="chapter">15 Other Politics</h2>
+
+<p>The GNU Project supports the cause of software freedom, that the users
+of computing should have control of their computing activities. This
+requires that they have control of their software that does those
+activities, which in turn requires that they do these activities
+with free software and have the possibility of replacing any shared
+copies with their own copies.
+</p>
+<p>It also supports basic human rights in computing including use of the
+internet; opposing censorship, for instance.
+</p>
+<p>A GNU package should not seriously advocate any other political
+causes. Not that the GNU Project opposes those other causes. Rather,
+it is neutral on them, and GNU packages should be neutral too.
