Corporations/governments/organizations

[TimidRobot]

Description

The current Contributor Covenant (v2.1) language and examples all deal with the behavior of individual human beings.

It might be worth considering how corporations/governments/organizations interact with communities and include language and examples for them, as well.

If included, care should be taken to set some kind of threshold of power within the corporation/government/organization or to determine who represents a corporation/government/organization:

• Most workers at the bottom of corporate hierarchies only have the power to choose between employment and destitution
• Most people cannot choose their citizenship and/or may also be victims of their government
• etc.

Alternatives

Since corporations/governments/organizations tend to interact with communities (especially free/libre and open source software communities) differently that individuals, instead create a peer document (ex. "Sponsorship Covenant").
