+GPLv3 uses a common license drafting technique of building upon simpler
+definitions to make complex ones.  The Program is a defined term found
+throughout GPLv2, and the word ``covered'' and the phrase ``covered by this
+license'' are used in tandem with the Program in GPLv2, but not as part of a
+definition.  GPLv3 offers a single term ``covered work'', which enables some
+of the wording in GPLv3 to be simpler and clearer than its GPLv2
+counterparts.
 
 
 % FIXME: does propagate  definition still work the same way in final draft?
