I do not like the idea of it being a policy. The term "policy" is really 
too strong. "Statement of principles" is much better.

Then, I can list Values, eg

Knowledge without boundaries
Empowering
Pioneering
Consideration for others
Freedom

And link the last one to a couple of places, such as the "Statement of 
principles regarding software use" and "licensing policy".

Considerations for others might link to "privacy policy" for example

etc
