I found another source about the change of the social contract. Take a look 
at http://www.lwn.net/2000/1012/dists.php3
The second part is about Debian. A quote:
" The proposed change would:
-change the Social Contract to explicitly state that Debian supports the 
rights of its users to use and develop non-free software.

-order the removal of all non-free software from the Debian archives, and 
forbid the introduction of any such software in the future.

-Directs various Debian functionaries to implement these changes."

After this part they say there's another vote, with softer terms.
