# '''Don't infringe copyrights.''' EmbeddedLinuxWiki is a free developer resource licensed under the terms of the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License].

# '''EmbeddedLinuxWiki encourages original research.''' As the central resource for leading edge Embedded Linux work, you are encouraged to submit your research, test results, etc. to the Embedded Linux community through this wiki.

These are used to provide guidance in various situations that arise on Wikipedia. They cover everything from naming conventions and sensitive terms that should be avoided to how to get along, and why not to bite the newcomers.
