We acknowledge that as service providers we rely on an intangible Social License rooted in the perceptions and opinions held by our community about services and providers of services. A Social License is an inalienable attribute of any community. As service providers we are called to stewardship of this privilege.
This intangible social license is made tangible through a Community License. To operate without consideration of such a license is to act in a nonconsensual manner. A Community License remains non-permanent because perceptions change as new information is acquired, as is our obligation to maintain our license on an ongoing basis.
