we have further internationalized the license by removing references to
|
|
||||||
distribution and replacing them with a new factually-based term,
|
|
||||||
``conveying.'' Conveying is defined to include activities that constitute
|
|
||||||
propagation of copies to others. With these changes, GPLv3 addresses
|
|
||||||
transfers of copies of software in behavioral rather than statutory terms.
|
|
||||||
At the same time, we have acknowledged the use of ``making available to the
|
|
||||||
public'' in jurisdictions outside the USA by adding it as a specific example
|
|
||||||
in the definition of ``propagate.'' We decided to leave the precise
|
|
||||||
definition of an organizational licensee, and the line drawn between
|
|
||||||
licensees and other parties, for determination under local law.

|
Further to this point, a subset of propagate --- ``convey'' --- is defined.
|
||||||
|
Conveying includes activities that constitute propagation of copies to
|
||||||
|
others. As with the definition of propagate, GPLv3 thus addresses transfers
|
||||||
|
of copies of software in behavioral rather than statutory terms.
