http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/0/0/ http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/0/0/ Only real problem I see here is highlighted in the following sentence: Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct. Using responsibility might imply a legal burden and unless the maintainers understand they are taking that on, it might be better to ask them to read it before agreeing to it. Also, it makes sense to at least link to it when asking people if they want to include a code of conduct. Otherwise, I agree with the idea of having codes of conduct and having them be common and de-facto but, it's useless if people don't understand exactly what they are agreeing to. FYI, I feel this way about including a Free License in your code as well. It's a nice thing to have to blanket cover your code but, the person including it should understand what they are putting their code into and also, the expectations of others who will contribute to the code.
