body: As the WTF Kooperative eG, we are committed to a maxim that is also commonly known as hacker ethics. What are the ethical principles of hacking ------------------------------------------------- #### motivation and limits - Access to computers - and anything which might teach you something about the way the world really works - should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative! - All information should be free. - Mistrust authority - promote decentralization. - Hackers should be judged by their acting, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position. - You can create art and beauty on a computer. - Computers can change your life for the better. - Don't litter other people's data. - Make public data available, protect private data.
