I don't recall there ever being a social contract.

Further, what makes you assume everyone is on the same page about what that social contract is? Have you even considered the possibility that there might be differences of opinion on a social contract which are incompatible? It's why the best course of action is to follow the license rather than delusional fantasies.

The idea there's a social contract is sophistry. Plain and simple.
