I think it is both. There is no reason the GNU project cannot have a philosophy project. As you note it kind of has already, it is under: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ Volunteers could write articles about Free Software and the GNU Philosophy project would publish them there. I think the more fundamental issue you spotted is that some of what are called Philosophy articles are actually (partial) policy documents. So I think the question is more, which article is what, policy or philosophy? And should they be maintained in the same manner? Cheers, Mark
