internationalization, but also factually-based terminology aids in
developers' and users' understanding of GPL\@.
% FIXME: transition here to convey definition, maybe with \subsection {},

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.
% FIXME: paragraph number change , and more on Convey once definition comes.
