+rights\footnote{While nearly all attorneys and copyleft theorists are in

+  vehemently disagrees.  Jaeger's position is as follows: under German

+  GPL, and if compliance continues from that point further, the violator's
+  permissions under copyright law are automatically restored, notwithstanding
+  the strict termination provision in \hyperref[GPLv2s4]{GPLv2~\S4}.
+  However, in
+  practice, this issue is only salient with regard to \hyperref[Proprietary

+  holders typically formally restore distributions rights once the only
+  remaining compliance issue is ``you lost copyright permission due to
+  GPLv2~\S4''.  Therefore, the heated debates, which have raged between
+  Jaeger and nearly everyone else in the copyleft community for nearly a
+  decade, are mostly about a nearly moot and esoteric legal detail.}.
