The social contract is generally not written down anywhere. Here's what we're all on about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract
I consent to let other people make demands of my OSS because I wish to make demands of their OSS because together we can build a better world than either of us could on our own - because I am consenting to be part of a community. I have security-sensitive Rust code on GitHub. I'm careful about unsafe, and I welcome people filing bugs, because I want the entire ecosystem to be good about unsafe, and so I need to do my part in that.
good thing the license file cover implicit guarantees then, because this is just bullies making up bullshit for justify their pressuring people into complying with their wishes.
The social contract is not enforced in the courts.
