From 39ead95e9bea9ac9b55d60d3d9aa6b580202b48a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bradley M. Kuhn" Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 12:48:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Rewrite paragraph to fix better with section.

This change brings it into form with the rest of the document. --- compliance-guide.tex | 13 ++++++------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/compliance-guide.tex b/compliance-guide.tex index 07cd4cd..a853161 100644 --- a/compliance-guide.tex +++ b/compliance-guide.tex @@ -1421,13 +1421,12 @@ to ``fix them'' for companies.
