GNU software usually follows standards, and occasionally departs from them. (See node Non-GNU Standards in the GNU Coding Standards.) But the standards a program follows are not part of the program itself. You might think of using a standards document as part of the program's documentation, but we never do that, precisely because standards documents are typically immutable. Documentation must be free (see https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html). -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
