# QB Networks Ethical Declaration — Principles with Inspirational Notes
|
||
|
||
1. **Human Dignity is Fundamental**
|
||
All our activities center on human dignity. Technology, data, software, or decision-making mechanisms must never supersede humanity.
|
||
*“A human is God’s vicegerent on earth; anything that harms them betrays the divine trust.”* — Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
|
||
|
||
2. **Ethical Leadership Stems from Responsibility**
|
||
Decision-making power comes not from authority but from integrity and accountability. Leadership finds meaning in serving the community.
|
||
*“Leadership is about offering freedom to others.”* — Richard Stallman, Founder of the Free Software Movement
|
||
|
||
3. **Pluralism is Strength**
|
||
Diverse voices and disciplines are not conflict but richness. We believe in a dialogue culture that listens and unites.
|
||
*“Differences are God’s law. Respecting them is what makes us human.”* — Alija Izetbegović
|
||
|
||
4. **Open Knowledge is a Shared Asset**
|
||
Knowledge is not to be hoarded but shared. Openness means not just access but virtuous production.
|
||
*“Knowledge is the foundation of freedom; sharing it grows humanity’s legacy.”* — Linus Torvalds, Linux Kernel Developer
|
||
|
||
5. **Consultation with Community Shapes Decisions**
|
||
Final decisions may rest with the decision-maker, but the process is shaped by the community. We build open, learning, and participatory decision structures.
|
||
*“A community’s strength lies in listening to every voice.”* — Eric S. Raymond, Open Source Software Advocate
|
||
|
||
6. **Balance of Freedom and Responsibility**
|
||
Freedom is not recklessness but a reflection of responsibility. We uphold this balance in code and relationships.
|
||
*“Freedom is complete only when it respects the freedom of others.”* — Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
|
||
|
||
7. **Digital Justice and Accessibility**
|
||
Our technological solutions must be accessible to all. Justice begins in the digital realm, fostering inclusion, not discrimination.
|
||
*“Accessibility is the conscience of technology.”* — Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web
|
||
|
||
8. **Principles Precede Profit**
|
||
Profit must never override principles. Ethical production is our definition of sustainability.
|
||
*“Morality must be the compass of every decision.”* — Alija Izetbegović
|
||
|
||
9. **Transparency Builds Trust**
|
||
We are transparent in all our processes. Trust is built through openness and honesty.
|
||
*“Transparency is the soul of a system; without it, nothing endures.”* — Julian Assange, WikiLeaks Founder
|
||
|
||
10. **Technology Serves Humanity**
|
||
Technology is a tool for human welfare. Every innovation must benefit society.
|
||
*“Technology should liberate humanity, not chain it.”* — Aaron Swartz, Open Access Activist
|
||
|
||
This framework represents QB Networks’ technical, philosophical, and humanistic vision.
