+ Most important technical concepts you need:
+ source code, binaries, methods of distribution.
# Considering Sections of the GPL
+ With the remaining time …
+ in interest of the experts in the audience …
+ let's dig into a few specific sections.
+ GPL ♥ 17 USC§106(2) & 17 USC§106(3)
+ Modification and distribution.
# Why Permission to Modify?
+ Your new copyrights are your copyrights:
+ you are affixing it in a tangible medium.
+ Exclusive right of copyright holders:
+ Control on “preparation of derivative works”
+ Distribution of the work.
+ Note the combination of these.
+ Again, see 17 USC§106
+ N.B.: “derivative works” is USA-centric, modify is more international)
# Modification As a Center Provision
+ GPL's primary copyright hook is copyright controls on the right to modify.
+ GPL's central tenant:
+ You can make a modified version of various types privately as much as you'd like.
+ When you distribute that modified version, you have requirements to meet.
+ Technological considerations dictate necessity of more complex rules for
certain types of modifications.
