Some have questioned whether section 7 is needed, and some have suggested
that it creates complexity that did not previously exist. We point out to
those readers that there is already GPLv2-licensed code that carries
additional terms. One of the objectives of section 7 is to rationalize
existing practices of program authors and modifiers by setting clear
guidelines regarding the removal and addition of such terms. With its
carefully limited list of allowed additional requirements, section 7
accomplishes additional objectives, permitting the expansion of the base of
code available for GPL developers, while also encouraging useful
experimentation with requirements we do not include in the GPL itself.
